Being on the Autism Spectrum can bring challenges that make it harder to enjoy experiences that most kids enjoy in their daily lives.
The Autism Society of Southeastern Wisconsin provides a supportive environment through various events and activities all structured with the goal of providing our children a chance to comfortably learn how to interact with their peers and enjoy these activities.
Everything from learning to ride a bike to water comfort and safety is covered in our events so they can learn to enjoy these experiences.
The Betty Brinn Children’s Museum offers countless opportunities for children to learn about and explore their world through play. The Autism Society of Southeastern Wisconsin has partnered with the Betty Brinn Children’s Museum to support specific Sensory-Friendly sessions. Click here to learn more.

This program teaches individuals with disabilities how to ride a conventional bike and become a lifelong independent rider! Success in learning to ride a bicycle is a major accomplishment for attendees and builds confidence and an improved self-image. Nothing is more inspiring than seeing a group of bike camp participants ride a conventional bike completely independently. By the end of the five day camp over 80 percent of riders learn to ride their bikes completely independently.

WisconSibs Sibshops are workshops for children and teens who are brothers and sisters of children with disabilities or long-term illnesses.
Youth Sibshops (ages 8-12) are a spirited mix of new games (designed to be unique, off-beat, and appealing to a wide ability range), new friends, and discussion activities.
Teen Sibshops (ages 13-17) focus on self-esteem building, peer connections, and topics related to being a sibling of someone with a brain- based disability through activities and discussions.
Sibshops are guided by trained facilitators (school psychologists, teachers, counselors or adult siblings, for example) in small, age-appropriate groups. All are trained in sibling issues, and always keep an eye open for participants who may need additional support.
