The Clubhouse is the Behavioral Intervention Association's (http://www.bia4autism.org) after-school program. Once a week, children between the ages of 5 and 12, who have communication and social challenges, meet and engage in fun activities to practice different social skills. Thanks to the generosity of our friends at the Jewish Community High School of The Bay who have given us access to their beautiful campus and their committed student volunteers, we were able to bring our East Bay Clubhouse program to San Francisco.

Sponge Painting (Art is all around us!)


Art Activity “Sponge/Balloon Painting” We worked together in small groups and used scrubby kitchen sponges and balloons filled with different materials to create a collage: Dip sponges/balloons into paint, then paint with them on a big piece of paper. 


We also practiced good sportsmanship by playing our color matching/memory game again (see 5/21/2013).


At Clubhouse, we talk a lot about kindness and friendship. Helping each other is a very important friendship concept:

Being a good role model: Helping a younger Clubhouse friend cleaning her hands after an art project.
