Free Community Programs for All Ages

We all have different brains. Different brains have different needs. There’s no one “right” way to participate in community.

We offer low-demand ways to connect with other people — in your own way. All of our programs have multiple ways to participate.

We welcome you to engage in whatever way is right for you.

  • Video on or off
  • Communicate with mouth words, chat, AAC device
  • No pressure to interact — observation is valid!

Being held in the safety of the ABB community, I am beginning to unfurl and love my brain, and the gifts it offers me and my community.
