Families with children of all ages who are on the autism spectrum; Pretend City will be closed to the general public.
This special evening is an opportunity for children and their parents/siblings/caretakers to have some fun in an autism-friendly environment along with other families. Many of our community partners, who specialize in supporting children on the autism spectrum, will be on-hand to enrich your family’s play experience with welcoming smiles and practical support. Watch a video tour of our museum here.
Sensitive Story Time: Join us in Orange Plaza for a Sensitive Storytime at 6:00 p.m. for the reading of Understanding Sam by Clarabelle Van Niekerk & Liezl Venter, MA CCC-SLP. This book gives readers a glimpse into the life of Sam, an undiagnosed child. There is something about Sam that causes him to behave a little differently than other children do, making him an easy target for bullying at school. Sam is diagnosed with a form of Autism called Asperger Syndrome. Once he is diagnosed, life becomes a little easier for Sam and his Family.
