Looking for some way to keep your kid active AND warm this winter? The Iowa City Autism Community has worked with the awesome therapists at Genesis Pediatric Therapy to create a yoga class designed specifically for children on the autism spectrum! Please call Genesis to sign up – cost is only $10.00! Space is limited to only eight participants so this will fill up quickly. If there is additional interest, Genesis is open to having an additional class. See flier for more details.

Throughout the year, The Iowa City Autism Community organizes several activities for individuals on the spectrum and their families. Thanks to generous community donations, events are often free or at reduced price.  See the flyers below for more details and check the calendar to see additional activities as they are scheduled. Contact Jessie Witherell at jessiewitherell@hotmail.com or Dina Bishara at iowadina@yahoo.com for more information.
