Autism Speaks Sibling Workshop

Autism Speaks offers a peer support, educational and recreational program for siblings ages 8 – 12 who have a brother or sister with autism. The monthly two-hour sessions provide a mix of hands-on educational and recreational activities, along with the opportunity to share common experiences, joys, concerns and how to handle situations typically encountered by siblings.

Workshops are offered in three-month sessions. Each two-hour workshop takes place on the second Sunday of the month from 2:00 – 4:00 p.m at Fifth Third Bank, located at 10759 W. 159th Street in Orland Park, IL. The fee for each three-month session is $50, and fees can be pro-rated with advance notice.
