Family Events

The Center for Autism (CARD) offers a variety of family events that bring together local families of individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in community settings. These events provide opportunities to connect with other families, share experiences, and strengthen a sense of community while enjoying fun activities together. Families also have the opportunity to meet with CARD staff, ask questions, and learn more about the programs, services, and resources available to support individuals with autism and their families.

Registration is required to attend. 

Registration fee is $15 per family, per event.
