Kids and teens in grades K-12 who are neurodivergent, plus their friends and families, are invited to join us at Neurodiversity Club. Have fun and make connections in a welcoming environment. Build a mini sculpture out of air dry modeling clay, or choose from various self-directed activity stations – do a craft, play a game, build with Legos, dance to music, and more. Please register online.
