Book Review - This is Gabriel: Making Sense of School
"This is Gabriel" provides an insight into the challenges children with sensory issues face every day at school. This beautifully illustrated picture book gives us all a better understanding of our eight senses, how they are affected, and what kind of accommodations are necessary to help children become learning sensations.  
Black & Brown Support Group
Join other parents/caregivers to talk about the joys and challenges of raising a child with autism. You are not alone! The group supports, educates, and advocates for a unique segment of the
population who are often misunderstood, underrepresented, and forgotten. 
Coming Soon! PUMPKIN PALOOZA
Many of you are familiar with our annual fall tradition – The Great Pumpkin Race! While we’d love to gather together and send some pumpkins racing down the track, given the current rise in COVID cases, we’ve decided to take the race virtual this year with a new, fun five-week campaign, which will kick off next week!
 
Companies, families and individuals will be able compete by raising funds for ASGC and have their pumpkins virtually “race” to the finish line. Stay tuned to next week’s newsletter where we’ll share all of the details on how you can get involved and register!
 
Do you have questions about Pumpkin Palooza? Want to get your family or company involved? Contact Taylor Haag, Development & Marketing Director, at thaag@autismcincy.org.
