Prairie Kids Club has all abilities classes. All Abilities are offered for kids with ALL abilities, where our other classes may be too fast paced or physically challenging for students. We provide a safe space where all kids can learn about moving their bodies while making friends and participating in semi-structured activities. The instructor will individualize classes toward the group member’s current physical abilities. These classes will be highly flexible to accommodate the needs of all of the students. This class is ALL inclusive and accepts children of ALL abilities. Class sizes are smaller to encourage more hands-on work with the instructor. Classes available for kids age 5+ **Parents are encouraged to participate in this class alongside their child!

Quiet Santa is a volunteer-run event for children with autism or other special needs to have a private family visit with Santa. We started this program because we recognize that not all children with sensory issues can enjoy typical visits with Santa, which are usually in malls or other loud locations. We strive to keep our event low-key and customizable for each family.Quiet Santa is not affiliated with any nonprofit or business. We are simply volunteers hoping to provide kiddos and their families a really cool, really unique, sensory-friendly opportunity.
With locations in Appleton, Beloit, Brookfield, Madison and West Allis we are a therapeutic day school that specializes in supporting children, adolescents and young adults who have diagnoses of developmental/neurological disabilities, and behavioral and emotional concerns. We also have summer camp available.

Everybody is different. Special Olympics is for people who are different because they learn new skills slowly. They are different in other ways as well. They have an intellectual disability, or ID. Intellectual disabilities happen in all cultures, races and countries. The goal of Special Olympics Wisconsin (SOWI) is to reach out to the more than 145,000 people in the state with ID. Our 9,000+ SOWI athletes—ages 8 years old and up—come from all regions of the state. We also have a Young Athletes program for children ages 2 to 10. At any age and in every county, our athletes are learning new skills, making new friends and gaining in fitness and confidence.Special Olympics Wisconsin trainings and competitions happen 365 days a year. We offer 19 Olympic-style winter, spring, summer and fall sports. All sports are coached by certified volunteer coaches. Many athletes start in one sport, then go on to try others.There is no upper age limit, and in fact, the average age of an athlete is 33. So whatever your age or skill level, Special Olympics has something for you.
