Wigglers Welcome!

Chords for Kids is a concert for children with autism or other special needs. Families are invited to enjoy music in a fun, friendly environment where dancing, singing and just generally not sitting still, are all perfectly acceptable behaviors. It's the concert experience free from the worry of causing a distraction. Yearly free concerts are held early in the spring at Wentz Hall, on the North Central College Campus in Naperville Illinois.

Quote from a parent
"He just lights up like a firefly and just jumps up and down and gets all excited. This is why this concert is so great for him."
