The Animated Minds ATL is a welcoming community for autistic adults ages 18 and older who share a passion for animation and visual storytelling. This program is designed for adults who do not require support or supervision and who enjoy creating and sharing their work with others.
Participants gather to talk about animation, draw, create, and connect with others who share similar interests. Members often bring their own creations to share with the group — including characters, animated shorts, comic books, and other visual storytelling projects. The club celebrates creativity, imagination, and collaboration in a supportive environment.
Each month, participants also have the opportunity to learn from guest speakers with expertise in animation, art, film, voice acting, and more, who share their skills and creative process with the group.

I’m hosting a Parent & Community Coffee Chat on April 21st for families raising children with special needs.
This month’s topic is:
“Collaborating with Therapists: Making the Most of Services.”
We’ll talk about:
• Speech Therapy
• Occupational Therapy

• How parents can reinforce therapy goals at home
We will also have a Q&A discussion with therapists so families can ask questions and learn more about available supports.
Meet with other parents for resources and support! First and third Tuesday of every month.
Fostering vocabulary development helps children with the acquisition of language. Language acquisition supports literacy skills as young children grow and develop. Participants will come away from this session with ways to incorporate language and vocabulary instruction in the home to support their children in the early and elementary grades. Presented by the Mid-West Family and Community Engagement Center.. Many of the programs at Starbridge are funded through the New York State Office for People with Developmental Disabilities (OPWDD). We are required to maintain documentation which shows that individuals who receive services are eligible for those services. Your information is kept confidential. Thank you for providing this information.
Is your child's Individualized Education Program (IEP) tailored to their individual needs? Parents and guardians are invited to join us for this workshop where they will explore the process of doing a special education document review. It will include pointers on how to read the evaluation report and the IEP with an emphasis on the importance of progress reports. Understanding how these documents work together can help build confidence that a child’s IEP is meeting their needs or clarify areas of concern that can be discussed in an IEP team meeting.
If an ASL interpreter is required, please notify workshops@pacer.org at least 48 hours prior to the workshop. We will do our best to accommodate your request.
