April 2nd is Autism Acceptance Day and April is Autism Acceptance Month

The community is invited to enjoy a day in the park at the Laura’s Place Playground, located in the North area of Blandair Regional Park. Join us in celebrating the Autism community and the inclusive play space created in Howard County for children of all abilities to play together. Children of all ages will have the opportunity to learn how to interact with their peers with disabilities. Communication boards on the playground allow non-speaking children who may use assistive technology to play more inclusively with their peers.

The afternoon will include opportunities to visit with first responders, elected representatives, and entertainers, as well as enjoy face painting, music and free ice cream from The Cow.  FREE to attend.  More information coming soon!
