Agency’s Mission Statement

The Summer HUGS Program  (Helping Us Grow Successfully) is a program for autistic preschoolers, ages 3-5.  Part of the Pitt County School system, the center is, “A place to teach, a place to grow, a place to realize your dreams.”

Agency’s Goals and Programs offered to Clients/People Served

This summer program is an extension of the educational experience provided to the children during the regular school year. The children work on many communication skills that keep up with their IEP goals. Here, the children follow a daily routine similar to that from the school year to maintain and improve these skills.

Agency’s Impact on the Community

This division of the Pitt County School system has greatly facilitated the education of autistic children of ages 3 to 5. They’ve been given individualized attention and opportunities to learn in a safe and secure environment. This agency also gives these children a more natural transition to kindergarten.
