Skillshops are a series of workshops designed for people working with
children and adults with autism spectrum disorders and
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.
A $5.00 non refundable processing fee will be retained for all registrations received 24 hours prior to the scheduled Skillshop. No refunds will be made within 24 hours of the Skillshop. If fewer than 6 participants registered for a Skillshop 24 hours before the class is scheduled, we will cancel the class. You will be notified by telephone and/or email and will receive a full refund.
