Social Skills Today

What Social Skills Today does

Social Skills Today is a privately held LLC (operating in a non-profit-aligned model) headquartered in Snellville, Georgia, that provides respite opportunities and social skills development programs for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders and other developmental disabilities, functioning at all levels and ages 4 and above. The organization operates exclusively in the greater Gwinnett County / Metro Atlanta region of Georgia, with programs administered through a portfolio of branded offerings: Spectrum Camps and Clubs (summer day camps), Camp Journey (overnight camp at Camp Twin Lakes Will-A-Way facility), Annandale Village Camps (teen and young adult programs ages 14-24), Drama Club (school-year performing arts program at Lawrenceville Arts Center), Spectrum Saturday Camp, and School Break Mini Camps at the Spectrum Autism Support Center in Duluth.

Revenue is generated through one-time per-session fees ranging from $180 (Saturday camp) to $1,200 (Drama Club), with day camps at $350-$460 per week and overnight camps at $415-$815. Pricing is positioned at the unit level with no subscription or recurring contract structure. The business also monetizes indirectly through third-party payer channels: programs are accepted for payment via Family Support Funds, Respite funds, and Now/COMP waiver programs routed through InCommunity, Bobby Dodd Institute, and county services for Fulton, Cobb, DeKalb, Douglas, Gwinnett, Newton, and Rockdale counties. The go-to-market motion is community-led: referrals flow through partner disability service agencies, and customer acquisition relies on the website, Facebook page, and Google Forms applications rather than paid digital marketing.

The underlying technology stack is minimal — there is no proprietary platform, no mobile app, no API, and no AI/ML components. Operational differentiation rests entirely on the human capital of the leadership team (Director Adrian Wilkins and Assistant Director Mary O'Connell, both veteran Gwinnett County Public Schools autism educators with 17-20+ years of experience) and on the organization's network of venue and funding partners. Programs are registered through Active Network's third-party platform (campscui.active.com). The organization maintains operational independence with no parent company, no outside investment, and no disclosed funding rounds.

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Southwest Autism Research & Resource Center (SARRC): Arizona-based autism services organization running social skills programs, camps, and community-based skill-building for individuals with ASD across the lifespan. Comparable in social-skills-focused programming and lifespan coverage, with a larger institutional footprint.
• The Arc: National organization advocating for and serving people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Operates state chapters that fund family support, respite, and community programs — directly comparable to the Family Support Funding/waiver funnel Social Skills Today relies on.
• Easterseals: National non-profit network providing disability services including autism-focused camps, respite, and social skills programs. Comparable in offering social/recreational programming for individuals with autism, with far broader geographic reach and institutional capacity.
• Bobby Dodd Institute: Founded 1951, one of Georgia's longest-running agencies serving individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Functions as a referral/funding partner routing families to Social Skills Today, while also being a broader IDD services provider with overlapping Family Support and Benefits Counseling services.
• InCommunity: Georgia community-based services provider (formerly Georgia Community and Support Solutions) administering Family Support Funding and Respite Care funding for Region 3. Both a critical funding-partner and a broader IDD services organization serving the same families.

Direct peers

• Annandale Village: Non-profit residential community in Suwanee, GA serving adults with developmental disabilities and acquired brain injuries. Direct venue and program partner for Social Skills Today's teen/young adult camps (ages 14-24), making it the most operationally comparable peer in the same geography and population.
• Camp Twin Lakes: Georgia-based camp network providing fully accessible camp experiences for children with serious illnesses, disabilities, and other challenges. Provides the Will-A-Way facility used by Social Skills Today's Camp Journey overnight program; operates a similar respite-plus-camp model with venue partnerships across the state.
• New Directions Georgia: Day program for adults with moderate or severe autism, founded by Social Skills Today Assistant Director Mary O'Connell. Directly comparable in mission and population focus, and represents a logical programmatic adjacency for Social Skills Today's transition-age services.

Regional players

• Autism Society of Georgia: Statewide advocacy and resource organization supporting individuals with autism and their families across Georgia. Comparable as a regional convener and referral node for the same autism families, though not a direct service provider.
• Quest Therapeutic Services: Pennsylvania-based therapeutic services organization offering social skills groups, summer camps, and behavioral support for children with autism. Operates a similar camp-plus-social-skills model in a different region, making it a useful regional comparator for unit economics and program design.
