Skillshops are a skill-building series of workshops for people who care for
individuals on the autism spectrum. It
reflects the Autism Society of Minnesota's ongoing commitment
to helping people learn
individual skills and information for work and family
life. Classes are intended for small groups with a "hands-on" approach,
encouraging participation, discussion and problem-solving on the topics that concern you the most. Click here to see this year's line-up.
A $5.00 non refundable processing fee will be retained for all registrations received 48 hours prior to the scheduled Skillshop. No refunds will be made within 48 hours of the Skillshop. If fewer than 6 participants registered for a Skillshop 48 hours before the class is scheduled, we will cancel the class. You will be notified by telephone and/or email. Please do not show up for a Skillshop without registering. We need to be able to contact you in the event of cancellation.
