Sunday 31st May ~ Family Day
Massive thanks to Listowel Races for letting us be part of the day.

Autism Awareness starts by having a presence in the community & attending local events.

are committed to spreading that awareness & knowledge of autism.

In time we believe families will feel more comfortable attending events in Listowel knowing that people understand that autistic people are different & that’s ok!

Making simple sensory accommodations makes a huge difference.
Listowel a town where everyone is welcome.
