About Superhero Center For Autism
The Superhero Center for Autism is a non-profit organization offering support, education, and resources for individuals with autism and other special needs and their families. We have opened a community center in Loves Park, IL where kiddos with special needs can just be: be safe, be empowered, be supported, and be themselves. This is a judgment free place, open to all kiddos with special needs and their families.
To support our superheroes and their families, we will begin offer support groups for superheroes, parents, and superhero siblings to build relationships, share ideas, and discuss how special needs play such a big role in their lives. In addition to our support groups, we will be offering parents resources to help navigate through the special needs world including IEPs, therapy options, and daily life challenges. Superhero siblings are welcome and have a room just for them to take a break and be themselves, and we hope to add a special siblings only night of fun filled activities geared towards celebrating who they are as superhero siblings and how much we appreciate them.
