Being a teenager can be tough. We are here to offer programs to help make the most of their formidable years.
The Autism Society of Southeastern Wisconsin strives to help teens learn about the many changes that they have going on, how to meet their ever-changing needs and become more socially aware of others.
By providing a forum to help make friends and form long term relationships, we take some of the tough out of being a teen in these transition years.

iCan Bike Camp
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.

Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW) Teen Hang Out Night
Come hang out with MCW University students from the Friends for Special Needs Group in the Alumni Center Room on the MCW Campus. The first part of the night will include enjoying activities including board games, visiting with friends and pizza. The medical activities booths featured in the second half of the night will include options like a physical exam station where you can learn to listen to your heart, lungs and abdominal sounds. The more we can help our teens get comfortable with their medical health and the professionals that assist in their care, the better advocates they will be for their future.
Stay tuned, an event is coming up this Fall!
WisconSibs Sibshops are workshops for children ages 6-12 who are brothers and sisters of children with disabilities or long-term illnesses. Typically lasting three to four hours, Sibshops are lively, relaxed events that combine recreation, information, and discussion, and give siblings the opportunity to celebrate the contributions and the challenges of their brothers and sisters with others their age who “get it.”
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.
Where: Autism Society SE WI, 3720 N. 124th Street, Suite O, Wauwatosa, WI, 53222
When: 9:00 a.m. – Noon
