Project REACH is a program aimed to help students on the autism spectrum succeed in college and beyond. One of the goals of the program is to assist students with a variety of aspects such as social skills.
“You can talk at people all you want about social skills,” said Kristen Gillespie-Lynch, “but there has to be an element of doing it for people to learn it. … That’s why we have the group classes.”
