We are fortunate to have some very active parents in our community when it comes to children with disabilities. One organization, Parent Partners in Education, (formerly Special Students of Hernando) leads the rest in their efforts. Each year they organize and put on an Autism Awareness walk in the community to raise awareness for Autism and related disabilities. It is not a fundraiser but any money that is raised this group turns around and uses to benefit the local community. This year, any money raised will be used to host a workshop for parents and educators. The workshop will be tied in to Special Education.
So, if you aren't busy on Saturday March 26th between 9am and 1pm stop by Central High School and check out this annual event. It is a free, family friendly, fun filled day!
The website with all of the details is Hernando Autism Walk
Hope to see you there!
