Friday, March 16th was a night of dancing, friends and fun as we celebrated St. Patrick's Day at Council Rock High School South.
Over 50 volunteers helped us put on a great dance for teens and adults with autism and other special needs by decorating, checking in attendees and finding buddies on the dance floor!

It was Magic at the Movies
|
Sunday mornings are for quality time with loved ones, which is why we invited our ACF friends & family to the movies! Over 130 guests enjoyed Sherlock Gnomes in a private theatre for our Spring Sensory Friendly Movie.
Lights turned up and sound turned down, created an atmosphere that allowed our special friends to enjoy a movie with their family. We thank the staff at AMC Neshaminy 24 for another enjoyable experience as well, they are always a pleasure!
Missed this one? The next Sensory Friendly Movie will take place this Summer, so stay tuned!

We Rolled With It at Family Skating Night!
|
On Monday night, March 26th we had Palace Roller Skating Center all to ourselves! With that much open space, participants couldn't wait to get laced up and glide out onto the floor.
The resident DJ kept us groovin', and the friendly staff made sure that everyone enjoyed the night safely. Thank you to all who attended, we saw some real talent out there!
