About
Custom Tab
The Social Cog is a non-profit created to address a previously unmet need for independently functioning adults with developmental and learning disabilities. The Social Cog creates connections and community for the participants. The program is comprised of adults who have expressed a desire to meet like-minded peers with whom to develop friendships. The Social Cog provides three specific components (or "Cogs") working in synchronicity in order to help its Members develop and maintain friendships. The Three Cogs are:
1) An Accepting Peer Group
2) Individualized Social Coaching
3) Shared Social and Emotional Experiences
Mission
The Social Cog provides adults with autism and other developmental and social challenges an opportunity to meet others with similar interests and minds by engaging them in a variety of social group activities and providing ongoing social/emotional coaching for participants to initiate further social contacts and independently maintain relationships. As a result of social opportunities and coaching provided through the program, participants develop satisfying relationships with other members, and are able to independently maintain those relationships at various levels. Given the importance of social support networks in defending individuals from stress and contributing to an overall improvement in quality of life, this is an outcome of great consequence not only to participants, but also to their community at large.
