April is Autism Acceptance Month
The ABA program at CAS would like to help celebrate diversity and inclusivity by purchasing and wearing special t-shirts every Wednesday in April. Proceeds from the fundraiser will support the Community Based Instruction program, for people with special needs, funding trips to places like Stop & Shop, McCool’s, and Walgreens, while providing learning opportunities with trained staff within their community. On behalf of our students we appreciate your support!
