Autism Awareness Family Fun Day »St. Landry now online newspaper » Opelousas & St Landry Parish, LA

South City Park was a hive of activity as the 10th annual Autism Awareness Family Fun Day was held here. Organizer Melissa Hall and her volunteers have once again made it a fun day with prizes, a petting zoo, fun jumps, face painting, games and of course all kinds of goodies. April is Autism Acceptance Month to raise awareness to promote autism acceptance, celebrate neurodiversity and individual differences, and continue to promote inclusivity and connection throughout the community. It is also a time to renew our commitment to honoring the unique lived experiences of people with autism. View a photo gallery from the event at stlandrynow.com
