ASD Friendly Afternoons

Ann Sgarzi, Neighbor
Both Museums

During ASD (autism spectrum disorder) Friendly Hours, we will
not host school groups or birthday parties, avoiding overcrowding and
supporting accessibility of exhibits. Participate in special sensory based
activities open to everyone.  A dedicated
room will be available to welcome families with a child with an ASD to orient
them to the campus and programs, and provide a quiet space for children needing
a break from the stimulation of the museums. Pre-registration required, space limited.
Visit http://bit.ly/ASDFeb14 to
register. Funding is provided by The
Yawkey Foundations, Morgan Stanley Foundation, Foundation for MetroWest, and
Acton-Boxborough United Way Youth in Philanthropy and The Fenn School Youth in
Philanthropy Program, a program of the Foundation for MetroWest.
