Upcoming Events
Parent's Night Out
Friday, February 3, 2023
Parents' Night Out is a FREE respite program open to children with disabilities and their siblings. The program is held from 6:00 - 9:00 PM on the first Friday of the month. Parents can enjoy a break and have a night to be "normal" while leaving their children in the care of responsible volunteers. Children not only enjoy activities such as open gym play, crafts, music, and special entertainment, but they have the undivided attention of a volunteer who is dedicated to making sure they have fun.
Autism Awareness Festival &
5K Trail Race/Family Fun Run
Saturday, April 29, 2023
The Autism Awareness Festival, held on the last Saturday in April at Dayspring Presbyterian Church in Forsyth, GA. is a day of promoting community awareness, inclusion, and education about disability, while providing a place to foster friendships and show families facing developmental disability love and support. The festival includes a resource/craft fair, kids play area, 5K trail race, family fun run, local and professional entertainment, and food vendors.
