About Us
Our free online program is filled with creative activities for autistic children. Our goal is to create a fun, safe, and inclusive environment for kids with autism. We are hoping to make this difficult time of quarantine more entertaining with music, crafts, culinary arts, and yoga. We created this online program so that more autistic children from different places can join and have fun with us!
We started as a group of high school students who have experience in volunteering with children with special needs. We are holding classes through zoom meetings every Saturday and Sunday from 5:00 to 6:00 PM PST. The schedule of the classes is listed in the ‘Schedule’ page, where you can also see what materials we need for crafts and culinary arts.
We hope to see many children in our classes!
