SUMMARY:Autism Social Skills Playgroup
DESCRIPTION:As a parent of a child with ASD\, your desires for them are not extreme nor unrealistic. You want what all parents want for their kids – an opportunity for them to fit in\, progress\, make friends and be happy. \nUnfortunately\, this area – the socialization of your children – is the area least addressed by the government and their funding streams. \nFortunately\, at Family Initiative\, we recognize and appreciate these hopes and wishes and have made social skills a priority. This inspired the creation of one of our most innovative programs – the Autism Spectrum Playgroup – where social skills development receives our utmost attention. \nSocial Skills Playgroups happen each Saturday from 1-4 p.m. Fee per group is $20. Registration at check-in.

SUMMARY:Speaker Series: A Path to Financial Independence
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we continue our monthly speaker series focused on building understanding\, access\, and belonging for individuals with different abilities. \nSteph Linares has served as an ABLE United spokesperson for the past 6 years and is based in South Florida.

In this presentation\, we’ll provide a high-level overview of the program\, including its history\, who is eligible\, and how ABLE accounts allow individuals with disabilities to save and invest while maintaining important benefits. We’ll also cover how the accounts work with programs like Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Medicaid\, the types of expenses the funds can support\, and the steps to enroll and manage an account. \nPlease Note: This event will be streamed live on Facebook only. No in-person event will be held.

SUMMARY:Autism Social Skills Playgroup
DESCRIPTION:As a parent of a child with ASD\, your desires for them are not extreme nor unrealistic. You want what all parents want for their kids – an opportunity for them to fit in\, progress\, make friends and be happy. \nUnfortunately\, this area – the socialization of your children – is the area least addressed by the government and their funding streams. \nFortunately\, at Family Initiative\, we recognize and appreciate these hopes and wishes and have made social skills a priority. This inspired the creation of one of our most innovative programs – the Autism Spectrum Playgroup – where social skills development receives our utmost attention. \nSocial Skills Playgroups happen each Saturday from 1-4 p.m. Fee per group is $20. Registration at check-in.
