Prime Time at the Kelly Autism Program
Prime Time Program
Developing Independence & Community
The Kelly Autism Program's Prime Time is designed for autistic children, adolescents, and adults. This program utilizes engaging, evidence-based activities to help participants develop communication skills, social interaction, executive functioning, self-advocacy, and independent living skills in a fun and supportive environment.

“We see a real difference in our son and it is one of the true gems of parenting to see a child, formerly distressed and misunderstood by his "world" find his way to a path where he is understood, respected, challenged, and loved by those involved in his daily life.Thank you for all you do to change the lives of the students within the Kelly Autism Program. Words will never be enough to express our feelings of gratitude.”
