'Play Our Way: Private Playtime for Families Affected by Autism'

Families of a child diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are invited to the Museum for a special, private playtime. The Museum will be closed to the general public, providing a more conducive play environment. Our staff has made adjustments to the lighting in our exhibit and play areas and noise-reducing headphones will be available. Picture map books of the exhibits will be available at the front desk to plan your visit.
There will also be a guided art project available for children seeking a structured activity.
Play Our Way is free, and pre-registration is not required.
Sunday 06/03/2012 @10am-12pm
For more information contact Louisa Donelson or call 828-1234 x227.
Presented with support from Ronald McDonald House Charities of Maine.
