Community building for neurodivergent children and their siblings. 
Join us for two engaging programs happening simultaneously: FACES and 
Sibling Get-Together!
FACES 4 Autism - Led by two experienced local 
Special Education professionals, FACES is designed to support 
neurodivergent children as they navigate social interactions. Through 
fun and engaging activities, we'll focus on building confidence in 
initiating conversations, sharing, self-advocacy, and fostering 
independence.
 Sibling Get-Together - Led by our children's 
librarian and mother of neurodivergent and neurotypical children, this 
program offers a supportive space for siblings to connect, share, and 
understand each other’s experiences in a fun, welcoming setting. This 
gathering encourages connection, understanding, and shared experiences 
in a welcoming environment.
Both programs take place in a relaxed, play-based setting focused on fun, not therapy!
For grades Pre-k to 6th. Call 609-294-1197 to register.
