We are inviting the community to attend a free Autism awareness event on Saturday, April 13, 2024 from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm at Benton Franklin Fairgrounds. Our Autism Journey – Better Together Event and Ceremonial Walk will be a journey through various interactive activities including some specially tailored to individuals with Autism.

Planned activities include:

Plenty of sensory-friendly fun such as water table, corn grain table, play-doh station
Ted Talk-like presentations
Families affected by Autism may experience a reduced sense of isolation by being among similar families
Event attendees will experience Autism awareness and education in a fun format
Connect with local vendors and other service providers in the area
Participate in a ceremonial and supportive 1/2 mile walk at 12:30 pm

The number of individuals diagnosed with Autism in our area has tremendously increased; and with that, so has the need for resources and services for these families. Autism affects an estimated 1 in 36 children in the United States. Local families are often isolated as they navigate a complex system of diagnostics, treatments, therapies, and educational tools. This event is being planned to help address those needs.

This is the only event of this kind specific to the Autistic community in the Tri-Cities region. To make this event successful, we need help from community partners who share our vision and want to help local community members along this journey. We would love to have you participate by adding a monetary gift for this event.
