Drive-Thru Autism Resource Fair

One in 54 individuals is affected by autism spectrum disorder – The Autism Society of Alabama, Regional Autism Network and Department of Mental Health want to keep families connected during the pandemic by offering current materials and information at the Drive-Thru Autism Resource Fair. While staying in their cars, families will drive by and be handed a packet filled with useful materials and a snack for the kids.  One lucky participant will find a voucher for a one-year free official autism acceptance license plate to be displayed on their automobile.

Complimentary reusable bags will include information on state and local resources related to autism safety, special education, therapy services and recreational activities. Angel Loewen, the Autism Society’s Program Director, understands the needs and challenges families affected by autism may encounter. “The Drive-Thru Autism Resource Fair allows the Autism Society of Alabama the opportunity to serve and share resources with those affected by autism in our communities during a time when many individuals and families are feeling extremely isolated.” Loewen stated.

There is no charge to attend the event, but registration is required.
