SuperTalk Mississippi has teamed up with TEAAM, (Together Enhancing Autism Awareness in Mississippi). TEAAM is a non-profit, volunteer organization comprised of parents, family members, educators, and service providers interested in the field of Autism Spectrum Disorders. Focused on advancing the service options for Mississippians with Autism, as well as those who serve them and those who support them, our organization is dedicated to improving the understanding of Autism through extensive training and program development. TEAAM is focused on being Mississippi’s central source of information regarding Autism Spectrum Disorders related services and resources.
From the TEAAM Website..."Our organization is involved in many projects. We sponsor an annual state conference on autism spectrum disorders, sponsor the annual state-wide awareness rally, have created an autism-friendly campaign, have taken the lead in designing inclusive recreation activities, and we conduct numerous training events across our state throughout the year. We are also the proud host of Kamp Kaleidoscope, Mississippi's annual summer camp program for children on the autism spectrum and their typical peers. The first and only camp of its kind in Mississippi, Kamp Kaleidoscope offers children with autism the opportunity to experience a real summer camp, an opportunity they might not otherwise get."
TEAAM is taking a huge step toward one of its long time dreams, building a site dedicated to conducting our inclusive camps and adventure-based programs. The site will be called The Center Ridge Outpost and it will be located in Center Ridge, Mississippi located in Smith County. The site’s location will place it central to all Mississippians. Though adventurers and campers will come from all over the United States to participate in this one of a kind program, TEAAM’s focus remains clearly set on supporting Mississippians and their families.
The Center Ridge Outpost will help fulfill the overall mission of TEAAM by providing inclusive adventure-based programs that provide supports for individuals on the autism spectrum, their friends and their families. These programs will provide fun, socialization, and respite in a safe, accepting and understanding environment. The programs that will be offered through The Center Ridge Outpost are a one-of-a-kind program concept for individuals on the autism spectrum. Nowhere else in the United States are there programs with the same unique design and success of our programs.
