Community Corner
ASD Friendly Afternoons
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/ASDJan14
to register. Funding is provided by Hologic, The Yawkey
Foundations, DCU for Kids, Morgan Stanley Foundation, Foundation for MetroWest,
and Acton-Boxborough United Way Youth in Philanthropy and The Fenn School Youth
in Philanthropy Program, a program of the Foundation for MetroWest.
