We offer a variety of activities in Helsinki for children and young people with special needs and their families. Our groups are held mostly in Konala, Helsinki. The activities are in the Helsinki area, but everyone is welcome without municipal boundaries. 

Our hobby groups welcome all children and young people who benefit from hobby in a small group. You don’t need a diagnosis nor a doctor’s referral to join our groups.  

We always have two instructors in a group of maximum of eight participants. Groups are organized by professionals and they are held mainly in Finnish. The professionals make sure that the activity is tailored to suit everyone.

Most of our hobby groups are held once a week, always at the same time in a same place. The group's participants enroll for the group for the whole semester (August-December, January-May), but you can also start in the middle of the semester. Once you have a place in the group. you can stay there indefinitely.

Please be in touch, if you have any questions or are interested in our activities.
