About the LEAP Program in Roswell
The LEAP Program is listed in Stiimi’s camps and recreation category, based at 1000 Old Roswell Lakes Parkway in Roswell, Fulton County. Recreation programming occupies an unusual and underrated place in an autistic child’s week. Therapy hours are structured around remediation — the child is there because something is being worked on. Recreation is the one part of the schedule where the point is simply to enjoy something and be around other people, and for many families it is the first place their child gets to be a participant rather than a patient.
North Fulton has a comparatively strong network of municipal recreation infrastructure, and Old Roswell Lakes Parkway sits within Roswell’s recreation corridor, making it a practical destination for families across Roswell, Alpharetta, Milton, and the northern edge of Sandy Springs.
Why inclusive recreation matters for autistic kids
The reason parents seek out a dedicated program rather than signing up for a standard community league is rarely the activity itself — it is the staff. In an inclusive or adapted program, a counselor who sees a child bolt from a noisy gym understands that as sensory overload rather than misbehavior, and the response is a quiet room and a reset instead of a phone call home. Ratios are usually smaller, schedules are predictable and often posted visually, and transitions between activities are announced rather than sprung.
The social benefit compounds. Children who spend school hours masking, or being gently excluded at recess, get a setting where the baseline expectation is different. Parents get something too: a few hours where nobody is going to call, and often the first real conversations with other local families in the same situation.
How to reach them and confirm details
The program is located at 1000 Old Roswell Lakes Pkwy, Roswell, GA 30076. Please note that the phone number in our source record does not appear to be a valid dialable number, so we recommend contacting Roswell’s recreation and parks office directly or visiting in person to confirm current session dates, eligibility, and registration. We would rather flag a questionable data point than have you leave a voicemail that no one will ever hear.
If you are affiliated with this program, you can claim the listing from this page and send corrected contact information, session details, and age ranges, and we will update it.
Questions worth asking before you register
Ask what the staff-to-participant ratio is and what training counselors receive around autism and behavioral support. Ask whether one-to-one support is available for a child who needs it, and whether a family can provide their own aide if not. Ask how the program handles elopement, since a child who runs is the single most common reason a recreation placement fails. Ask what a typical day looks like hour by hour, and whether a visit before the first session is possible.
Families building out a full week often pair a recreation program with social skills groups for structured peer practice, and with respite care during school breaks. Both categories are searchable in the Stiimi directory by Fulton County.
