SATURDAY SUPPORT SERVICES
Monthly workshops are presented to facilitate development of specific skills that are vital to our children’s success in the community. Workshop topics focus on behavior, academics, social skills, self-help skills, communication, and family support. A friend of InKids has generously provided a grant to provide these services free of charge. Childcare for parents attending the workshops is included in the grant. Registration is required. (see below)
SIB CLUB
Not forgetting our siblings of children with autism, we offer a once-a-month support group for our school age siblings. This group provides siblings with a group of peers who “get it.” Facilitators assist the children in sharing feelings and experiences in an encouraging and positive format. The children are able to bond with other children who understand both the ups and downs of having a sibling with autism. This group is now provided free-of-charge during Saturday Support Services! Children may still attend this group if they do not have a parent attending the workshop. Registration is required. (see below)
