Hosted by Uniquely Me Creative Arts (UMCA) and BAM, this powerful, supportive community event focuses on behavior strategies for children on the autism spectrum, providing parents and caregivers with practical guidance, connection, and assurance. While children participate in structured, sensory-based activities, parents will engage in a workshop with Sam Blanco (BCBA-D, PhD, LBA) of Different Roads. Children will be supported by a 2:1 adult-to-child ratio throughout the session.
