This Saturday, May 2nd there are two community events happening that we would like to let you know about.

The first is David’s Run for Autism. It will take place in Nappanee, IN starting at 8:30am. There will be autism resource tables there, food, games and activities for the whole family. For more details and to register for the run/walk, click here.

The second event will be hosted by IN*SOURCE on Saturday May 2nd from 10:00am-12:30pm at 602 South 8th St. in Goshen IN. The workshop “Be Safe: The Movie, How to Interact Safely with the Police,” will give parents the education and tools to teach their child with autism how to respond and interact appropriately with the police.

We hope that you might be able to attend one of these events. Please continue to check our posts for upcoming community events as well as autism resources!
