This KIC family event is all about fostering emp athy and building incredible friendships.\n\nIf your child knows at least 30 children\, there is likely an autistic one among them. People with auti sm experience the world differently\, and it really helps “neurotypical ” children\, or those whose central nervous systems are developing as ex pected\, to know what autism might look like in people they know or would like to get to know.\nActivities\nJoin us for an engaging session with Che lsea Budde\, a professional consultant and parent who’s been teaching ki ds about autism acceptance for nearly two decades. Your child will gain ne w knowledge and learn how to foster amazing friendships with all kinds of brains! This presentation will be interactive and designed to be appropria te for even our youngest kids ages 2-6 years old. Though younger kids are welcome to join us as well!\n\nAfter our discussion\, we’ll roll up our sleeves to create sensory art kits\, designed to bring joy and support to children and families in St. Francis Children’s Center’s birth-to-thre e program. It’s a powerful way to learn\, connect\, and give back. Your child will get to take home a sensory bag too! \n\nAnd\, if we finish up early - you are welcome to stay and play and make friends in the Family Ac tivity Center play space.\nImpact\nThis project offers a wonderful way for our young volunteers to build empathy\, flexibility and inclusive social skills. They will learn about autism in a way that’s easy for children t o understand. And\, they will create meaningful sensory art kits to suppor t the kids at SFCC!\nWhen &\; Where\nSunday\, November 2 from 3:30-5 p. m.\n\nSt. Francis Children's Center - Family Activity Center\n6700 N.
