Events
Building inclusive community, one gathering at a time.
The Includers Club hosts low-pressure, welcoming gatherings for neurodivergent children and their families. We’re in the early stages of building this work — thoughtfully and intentionally — with our first offering launching soon.
​
Right now, that offering is a monthly, caregiver-attended playgroup.
​
Our focus is simple: connection without pressure, belonging without conditions.
​
Our First Offering
​
Right now, The Includers Club is starting with one simple offering: a monthly, caregiver-attended playgroup designed to be welcoming, flexible, and low-pressure.
Our First Offering: Monthly Inclusive Playgroups
Our monthly playgroups are unstructured, caregiver-attended gatherings where neurodivergent children and their families spend time together in a space where differences are expected and respected.
There is no set agenda, no required activities, and no expectation that children participate in a particular way.
​
Families may join for different reasons:
​
-
Some children enjoy being around peers, even without direct interaction
-
Some families are simply looking for a place to exist comfortably among others who understand
-
Some parents come for quiet connection with other caregivers who “get it”
​​
All of those reasons — and more — are welcome here.
Playgroup Basics
-
Held once a month
-
Caregiver-attended (not a drop-off event)
-
Unstructured and flexible
-
Designed for neurodivergent children and their families
-
No participation requirements
​​
If you’re unsure whether a playgroup is right for your family, you’re always welcome to reach out with questions.
What To Expect
Come As You Are
Children are never expected to mask, perform, or fit a mold. Movement, sensory needs, stimming, observing, and different communication styles are all welcome.​
​
Family-Centered
Playgroups are not drop-off events. Caregivers stay with their children, creating a shared experience that supports both kids and caregivers.​
​
Connection Over Compliance
There are no behavioral expectations, goals, or outcomes. Our gatherings prioritize comfort, safety, and connection — not rules or performance.
​
Predictable, Not Rigid
We aim to offer enough structure for families to feel prepared, while remaining flexible and responsive to individual needs.
​

Growing With Our Community
We are intentionally starting small and growing alongside the families we serve. As our community develops, we hope to expand offerings in ways that reflect real needs, real voices, and real experiences.
​
Everything we build will be shaped by:
​
-
The families who show up
-
The feedback we receive
-
A commitment to staying flexible, accessible, and human
