We’re excited to welcome The Autism Corner to PVDFest!

The Autism Corner is a Rhode Island nonprofit working to create more inclusive, sensory-friendly spaces while helping families navigate autism-related resources, education, advocacy, family support, and community programming.

At the heart of their work is a simple belief: families deserve spaces where they feel supported, understood, and like they truly belong.

Stop by The Autism Corner’s booth on Washington Street during PVDFest to meet the team, learn more about their growing programs and initiatives, and connect with resources for families throughout our community.
