DC Autism Buddies is a volunteer-led “Big-Little Buddy” program created by DC Autism Parents (DCAP) to provide one-to-one recreational opportunities for children with autism in the DC Metropolitan Area. 

The program is open to children living with autism, ages five to thirteen.

Parental supervision at DC Autism Buddies sessions is not required.  However, if you child is not potty-trained and/or not using the bathroom independently, you must stay at the program site to assist with your child’s toileting needs.

The DCAP Lending Library maintains a selection of books and magazines related to ASD. Through a partnership with the DCPS Early Stages Center, items may be borrowed “on the premises only” weekdays between 9:00am and 7:00pm at the DCPS Early Stages Parent Resource Center.  For an inventory list, please visit our DCAP Lending Library page.

These  group meetings are open to parents, professionals, and members of the autism community.  They include introductions, general announcements, and a presentation by a guest speaker concerning issues related to the autism community. Ample time is allowed for group support and socialization.
