Throughout Autism Acceptance Month, Autism New Jersey was on the ground in communities across the state. Our team spent April meeting families, educating employers, strengthening partnerships, and advocating for individuals with autism. Our leadership and program experts were in high demand, sharing their knowledge with professionals, families, and community partners.
From corporate headquarters to hockey arenas to the Jersey Shore, we worked to advance understanding and support for individuals with autism and their families. We are grateful to every partner, host, and community member who welcomed us. Our work continues all year long, buoyed by the power of connection.
Take a look at where we’ve been and the incredible moments that brought people together in support of autism acceptance.
