Especially for Me! Free Evening for Families with Children on the Autism Spectrum

Both Museums Open

Come join in all the fun and explore both museums during this special free evening for families with children on the autism spectrum. Visitors may also drop-in for a workshop with Romy Wilhelm, a practicing music therapist from Indian Hill Music. Many studies have shown that music therapy is an effective tool for reaching this population, as it engages and fosters their capacity for flexibility, creativity, variability, and tolerance of change. Pre-registration required. Visit http://bit.ly/Esp4MeFeb14 to register. Food generously provided by Not Your Average Joe’s of Acton. Funding is provided by The YawkeyFoundations, Morgan Stanley Foundation, Foundation forMetroWest, and Acton-Boxborough United Way Youth in Philanthropy and The Fenn School Youth in Philanthropy Program, a program of the Foundation for MetroWest.
