Sea of Possibilities

The Sea of Possibilities (SOP) at Els for Autism empowers autistic adults by providing vocational training, employment, and community inclusion opportunities. The program serves our Adult Day Training (ADT) clients, employs autistic individuals, and involves dedicated volunteers.

Additionally, SOP collaborates with local gift shop owners and engages numerous visitors at vendor events, raising awareness and generating sales for handmade ocean-themed art pieces created by ADT participants. SOP’s outreach spans multiple cities in Palm Beach County, partnering with businesses near and far to support community engagement and revenue generation.

Our campus is a closed campus; however, on the first Friday of the month, we will be opened, along with the Big Easy Cafe, to the public for you to “Dine & Shop.” Let us and your friends know you’re coming by visiting our Facebook event page.
