With generous support from The Rite Aid Foundation, ADMI has created informational materials on emergency preparedness for families of children with special developmental needs, including autism. To distribute these materials, we’ve planned two free, no-touch giveaways, the last of which is this Sunday. At our giveaways, we'll provide tote bags with an array of materials including informational guides for both parents/caregivers and for children on emergency preparedness and ...masking. Also included will be masks and a miniature emergency preparedness kit. 250 bags per event. One bag per family. First come, first served. Masking and social distancing will be strictly observed. No-touch giveaway #2, to be held rain or shine: Sunday, Nov. 15, from 2 4pm in the parking lot at Geisinger’s Precision Health Center in Forty Fort (190 Welles St, Suite 128, Forty Fort, PA 18704) Please share!

We can't say enough about this fabulous event that raises money for local autism-related organizations. ADMI has been a beneficiary more than once. Please help us spread the word to the runners, trail runners, walkers, and outdoor enthusiasts in your life. What a great way to support our local autism community!

Over 90,000 individuals with #autism have participated in SPARK! Learn more about the study by visiting sparkforautism.org/geisingeradmi.
