Every month, we offer events for the whole family!

Designed for children with disabilities and their families, we partner with other organizations and cultural institutions to create experiences many families may not otherwise feel comfortable or welcome to participate in. Public outings can be daunting due to prevalent ableism — whether well-intentioned or not. We understand the need for families to have fun together without judgment, pity, or others trying to “fix” our children.

Discover EKC Family Gatherings at the Brooklyn Children’s Museum!

Register (required) and join us on the last Sunday of each month for an enriching afternoon designed for neurodivergent families. Together, we’re fostering a supportive community where everyone belongs.

Our next family gathering will be on September 28th at the Brooklyn Children’s Museum.

Here’s what’s in store for you:

Museum Exploration: From 4 pm to 5 pm, families can embark on a journey of exploration and delight within the walls of the Brooklyn Children’s Museum, each at their own pace.

Family Art-Making: From 5 to 6 p.m. families head to the Rooftop or the Commons Theater both located within the Museum to enjoy a facilitated family activity.

Snack & Connect: CAA's Blue Hat will provide a free delicious café-style drink for each family member. Feel free to bring snacks to share as you connect with other families in a welcoming, judgment-free environment.

To ensure a comfortable experience, we’re limiting the number of participating families each month, considering spatial and sensory needs. Secure your spot with a non-refundable registration fee of $12 for a family of four.

Remember, no family will be turned away due to financial constraints. Reach out to lovisa@extremekidsandcrew.org.

Let’s unite, play, engage in family activities, build connections, and share valuable resources. We’re eagerly looking forward to seeing you there!
