Bryce’s Journey
About
Bryce’s Journey is a Hyde Park organization devoted to helping underserved children with autism and their families. Its core program is an after-school social skills group for students in first through twelfth grade with autism or ADHD, designed to give kids the confidence and skills to hold a conversation and stay on topic with peers in a group setting. A summer enrichment program continues the work during the school break.
Support extends to parents as well. Monthly educational workshops and parent support groups meet over Zoom, and an IEP program helps families review IEP and 504 documents and can send an advocate to attend meetings alongside a parent or caregiver. An emergency relief program connects families with limited resources to food and clothing through Cradles to Crayons. The organization relies on community partners, funders and sponsors, including the Agnes M. Lindsay Trust.
