ExplorABILITY is a twice-monthly play-based program offering children on the autism spectrum, ages two to ten, an opportunity to play in a safe setting, explore novel sensory equipment and materials, and work on social skills and building friendships. Social Skills Specialists with backgrounds in both ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) and IPG (Integrated Play Groups) are on hand to answer your questions, help your child with skills they're working on, and help facilitate social skills. There are no specific therapeutic goals, so no data taking - the main purpose of ExplorABILITY is to PLAY and HAVE FUN!
PLEASE NOTE: Because ExplorABILITY is so far without a sponsor for 2019, we will be shifting to a "Pay What You Can" admission model for this program. To that end, ExplorABILITY will operate on a donation basis - just pay what you can during your visits to ExplorABILITY to help us ensure that we can continue to offer every child a chance to play! Thank you for your support!
Beary Special Play Date is a FREE, sensory-friendly program for children with special needs and their families and friends. Our next Beary Special event is the Shamrock Shimmy -- a St. Patrick's Day dance party on March 15 at 6PM - 8PM. Join us for dancing, light refreshments, and of course, Museum play!
