Upcoming Event
Sensory-friendly
Toy Story 5 Screening
The Includers Club will be hosting a sensory-friendly opening day screening of Toy Story 5 on Friday, June 19 at York Theatre in Elmhurst.
​
This is a welcoming opportunity for families who may feel nervous about trying a movie theater, or for kids who need to move, stand, sit on the steps, take breaks, or experience a movie in their own way.
​
The showing will include dimmed lights, lower volume, movement welcome, and access to a take-a-break space.
​
Time TBD, likely late morning. More details coming soon.
Sensory-Friendly Playgroup
A welcoming, low-pressure space for neurodivergent children and their families to play, connect, and feel understood.
​
Our playgroups are designed with sensory needs, emotional regulation, and family comfort in mind — with space to move, play, observe, or simply be.
​
No pressure. No expectations. Just community.
​
Upcoming dates are shared through our events page, newsletter, and social media.
Who We're Here For
​​We support families raising autistic and neurodivergent children — especially those navigating new diagnoses, big questions, or systems that don’t always feel built for their kids.
​
At The Includers Club, children don’t have to mask or “fit in,” and parents don’t have to explain or justify their experiences.
​
You’re understood here — exactly as you are.
What to Expect
A space designed with your child — and your family — in mind.
Come As You Are
Your child is never expected to mask, perform, or fit a mold.​​
Parent-Friendly & Judgement-Free
Connect with caregivers who understand — without needing to explain or justify your experience.
Flexible Participation
Children can engage at their own pace, in their own way — with space to observe, move, or join when ready.
Predictable, Not Rigid
Clear structure with built in flexibility so families can feel prepared and at ease.
