“Red Kite Prom” for Teens on the Autism Spectrum in Chicago

Experience an inclusive and affirming prom at this Valentine’s Day event for teens on the autism spectrum

The Chicago Children’s Theatre will host the “Red Kite Prom” on Feb. 14 from 7 to 10 p.m.

Teens on the autism spectrum can enjoy Valentine’s Day at this accessible, neurodiverse prom!

Chaperones trained in facilitating inclusion will provide an inclusive and affirming space where everyone can celebrate.

The event will offer:

• Reduced lighting and sound levels
• Break spaces and fidgets at the ready
• Dancing
• Lower energy options and alternative activities

The event is designed for teenagers ages 13 to 18 on the autism spectrum. Attendees will receive a pre-prom social story.

Parents and caregivers are encouraged to drop off their teen at prom to give them an independent experience. There will also be a separate waiting room for parents/caregivers who wish to stay.

The cost is $10 per person.

Register for the “Red Kite Prom.”
