SIBLINGS CLUB: For children Yr1 – Yr 6
(Although Kindergarten children welcome in 2nd half of the year)
3rd Friday evening of each month:
A club for siblings or family members (son, daughter niece nephew or grandchild) of those on the Autism Spectrum. (Autism, Asperger’s, PDD NOS and Tourettes).
We will do fun activities and discussions. We will do some fun things we wouldn’t always be able to do if our siblings were with us. We will sometimes talk about what it is like to have a sibling or family member on ‘the spectrum’ but mostly we will have fun and make new friends! There is a continuous intake of children to the group. New children are always welcome.
