Weekend Enrichment
Weekend Enrichment gives students who cannot attend YEAT UP’s weekday after-school programming another opportunity to explore, create, and learn. Open to students of all abilities, each Saturday session combines environmental discovery, creative arts, sensory exploration, and hands-on activities that build confidence, curiosity, self-expression, and connection.
Led by Sheniqua Martin, M.Ed., the program offers a welcoming, autism-inclusive environment. Her special education experience allows her to provide thoughtful guidance and individualized support for autistic children while engaging every student according to their strengths, interests, and ways of learning. Children are encouraged to participate at their own comfort level, take breaks when needed, and explore activities in ways that work best for them.
