About Empowering Kids

We understand how confusing life can be after a diagnosis of autism.

We all want the best for our children, and the journey after a diagnosis can be overwhelming. Empowering Kids is a neurodiverse-affirming organization that provides a variety of services for autistic individuals, AuDHDers, and ADHDers, as well as families and our local community. As one of the only non-profit neurodiverse programs located between Moorhead and Minneapolis, we pride ourselves on providing high-quality and affordable programming designed specifically for the individuals we serve.
