Skillshops

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.
