New York Transit Museum

New York Transit Museum SUBWAY SLEUTHS Subway Sleuths is a 10-week after-school program at the New York Transit Museum that builds on a shared interest in trains among students on the autism spectrum. Subway Sleuths supports peer-to-peer interaction, provides a context for navigating social situations, and develops students’ confidence by affirming their interest in public transit. Using a strength-based approach, participants explore the Transit Museum’s content and collection, sharing their enthusiasm with others while engaging in transit-themed games and activities. Each session provides opportunities for group collaboration and different forms of social engagement. Ten weekly online sessions are facilitated by Transit Museum Educators and contracted professionals trained in ASD support. The 2nd-3rd grade group meets online at 4:15 PM ET on Wednesdays via the Zoom platform. The 4th-5th grade group meets in-person at 4:30 PM on Thursdays at the Transit Museum in Downtown Brooklyn.
