Girls Club is a newly launched group ~ created to empower young girls by teaching them about their neurodivergent brain, cultivating space to be their most authentic self, and supporting friendship development through a semi-regular gathering. This club is all about socializing, normalizing, and celebrating the uniqueness of each individual! Every club gathering will include sensory activities, interactive stories, and playful time with new peers.
*Although this club is focused on celebrating Autism, we welcome peers, siblings, or friends who want to celebrate with us! Teaching our peers about the variety of learning styles and neurological makeups is beautiful! Should your child wish to invite a friend, please know that is welcome.

This small-group experience is designed to create a relaxed, supportive space where connection happens naturally. Each session offers gentle invitations to engage – whether through a board game, collaborative project, watercolor painting, or shared creative exploration. Participants are encouraged to bring their interests into the space and connect with peers in ways that feel authentic to them.
Rather than teaching rigid or scripted social routines, this group focuses on developing meaningful interaction through shared activity. With the support of a speech-language pathologist, children will practice flexible communication, perspective-taking, self-advocacy, and collaborative problem-solving in real time – in ways that are more likely to generalize beyond the therapy room. The goal is not to perform social skills, but to build confidence, comfort, and genuine peer connection.
