So many of our families have shared that they don’t “do” anything at New Years because it is hard to go to a boisterous rowdy event with their loved one who has sensory issues.
Well, now is your chance to experience a “Sensory Friendly New Years!”
We have two goals :
•our families to come together and have a fun time
•give our children, teens and young adults a chance to experience the countdown to the New Year alongside friends!
You don’t have to stay until midnight…but we hope you do!
We are asking everyone to bring a favorite snack to share. (Please no alcohol)
Fun for all ages!
Please RSVP at autismsocietynewyears.eventbrite.com!
