What a Session Looks Like

Predictable Routine

Each session follows a predictable routine with visual schedules, movement breaks, and hands-on activities.

One Skill Each Month

Every month focuses on one social skill, such as joining play, taking turns, or asking for help.

Learning Through Play

Children practice through games, group building projects, snack time, and choosing a book to check out at the library.

Every Child Is Welcome

Every child is welcome to take part in their own way. Speaking, AAC devices, picture cards, and gestures all count, and calm spaces are available whenever a break is needed.

Attending With Support

Each child attends with their Behavior Technician, so the club can serve as a community setting for goals in their treatment plan. Parents are welcome to wait nearby in the library.

Join or Get on the Waitlist

Space is limited to 10 children per group. To join or be added to the waitlist, please complete our intake form.

Please do not include detailed medical or diagnostic records. The Foundation will follow up to confirm placement or waitlist status.
