We had an AMAZING time at Doug Flutie, Jr. Foundation for Autism's 5K this year! The whole family participated and celebrated by running, walking, and skipping their way to the finish line. One of our members even got third place in their age group.

SPACE’s new weekly play group initiative is designed to be fun, inclusive, and educational for the whole family! We’ve been providing children with a place to come play and have fun with their peers. We have lots of toys, games, and even a bouncy house.

We hosted an amazing, educational event to discuss how to navigate speech and language services for children with disabilities, especially those in multilingual households! Our families learned about how to work within these systems and how to advocate for your child.
