DC Autism Buddies is a non-profit 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, and is free of charge to families.  However, a $20 donation per child would be greatly appreciated to assist in offsetting material costs.

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.

To learn more about this program, please email dcautismbuddies@dcautismparents.org.

We stay informed on the latest materials available and strive to keep the library current.  Books may be borrowed for 1 month at a time, excluding journals and magazines which must remain in the library.  The library is available by appointment only.

This group is open to parents, professionals, and members of the community interested in learning more about special topic areas.  Speakers will be provided throughout the year to offer insights on a variety of topics.
