We are three busy moms of amazing autistic and neurotypical children! We have wished for the opportunity to have a drop-in playtime for exceptional kids to come together with their families to connect, have fun, and be themselves. So, we decided to create it! We've teamed up with Autism Society NL (ASNL) to create a parent-led "Community Connections Playtime" for all ages and all abilities. We're very passionate about inclusion, acceptance, and accessibility, so we aim to create a warm and welcoming space for all exceptional families.
