Do you have a teen who's looking for an opportunity to meet others, hang out and have fun? Yes? Then this event is for you.

We're starting our Teen Time Club! It's a chance for our teens to get together. Our first meeting we'll talk about what the Teens would like to do at future meetups. Maybe games, crafts, trivia, etc.

We do ask that parents or a support person stay during the meeting. Meeting is open to those 13-17yr. Light snacks will be provided.

Have Questions? Please reach out to us at 567-825-8921 (M-Thurs. 9a-2p) or at [email protected]

😃We have another NEW Program!!!!!
⚽️We’re excited to introduce Ausome Kids Athletics, by Autism Life Center! It's a new all-abilities sports program for children on the autism spectrum, ages 6 and up, led by Autism Life Center board member Melynda.

🏀Through sports, kids can explore movement and sensory experiences, practice communication, connect with teammates, and have fun in a supportive, encouraging environment.

We kicked things off with a soccer camp in September, made possible by a donated field, soccer balls, snacks, medals, and a wonderful crew of volunteers. And this is just the beginning!

Every child plays. Every child wins.

One of the concerns I hear about the most is what parents should do when their child is struggling with reading. Check out this Tip Sheet for questions to ask at your upcoming Parent Teacher Conferences. It will help you form some questions to ask to gauge your child's progress and learn more about what supports are available to assist.
