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. This month, we will be making pom pom shooters out of pool noodles and balloons. Or, kids can choose from various self-directed activity stations – do a craft, play a game, build with Legos, dance to music, and more. Please register online.

Co-Sponsored by SUNY Empire State University Center for Autism Advocacy: Research, Education, & Supports (CAARES)
