About the event
Autism affects an estimated 1 in 36 children in the US, and the number of diagnoses in our region has significantly increased. Families often find themselves navigating a complex system of diagnostics, treatments, therapies, and educational tools, leading to isolation. The "Our Autism Journey - Better Together" Event seeks to address these needs by providing a platform for education, connection, and community support.
Journey Experience: 9:00 am - 12:00 pm Details: Interactive exhibits, "Ted Talks," and learning experiences led by professionals to provide valuable insights into Autism, diagnosis, therapies, resources, positives, and challenges. Walk/Run/Roll for Autism: 12:30 pm Details: Join us in a 1/2 mile walk within the Benton County Fairgrounds to celebrate Autism Awareness Month, promote acceptance, and support individuals and their families.
