Have Dreams, a recreational facility for kids with autism, has some fans among Chicago attorneys. Matthew Johnson’s son has been attending the after-school program for three years. The kids not only do crafts and play games, but they learn socializing skills that help them in other areas of their lives. Have Dreams was founded in 1996 by a group of parents who wanted a place for their kids to feel safe. Charles Gilbert, with the IL attorney general’s office, said his son still participates in some of the activities even though he’s 23 now. Kim Denkewalter, another attorney became involved when he met a young man with autism. He started a golf fundraising event for Have Dreams. This year the attorneys are hosting a fundraiser for Have Dreams that they hope will bring in $400,000 for the program.
