ASD Friendly Afternoons (free admission for pre-registered families)

Both Museums

During ASD (autism spectrum
disorder) Friendly Hours, we will not host school groups or birthday parties,
avoiding overcrowding and supporting accessibility of exhibits. Participate in
special sensory based activities open to everyone.  A dedicated room will be available to welcome
families with a child with an ASD to orient them to the campus and programs,
and provide a quiet space for children needing a break from the stimulation of
the museums. Pre-registration required, space limited. Visit http://bit.ly/ASDApr14 to register.

A. Roy and Valdea Lea Roy Foundation, The Acton-Boxborough United Way Youth in Philanthropy
Program, and The Fenn School Youth in Philanthropy Program, a program of the
Foundation for MetroWest.
