  • Sensory & Harvest Gardens Tour

    Spectrum Autism Support Center 2997 Main St, Duluth, GA, United States

    Come celebrate with us—because this garden is more than just plants. It’s a symbol of what we can cultivate through compassion, collaboration, and community.

    Enjoy a relaxing stroll through our Sensory and Harvest Gardens, thoughtfully designed to engage the senses, spark curiosity, and create meaningful connections. From vibrant colors and textures to peaceful spaces for reflection, every element of the garden was created with inclusion and growth in mind.

    These gardens are the result of dedicated volunteers, generous supporters, and a shared vision of building something beautiful together. As you explore, you’ll experience not only the beauty of nature, but the power of community.

    Light refreshments will be served as you connect, unwind, and celebrate all that has been grown—together.

  • Parents of Special Needs

    Fellowship Bible Baptist Church 450 Dunbar Rd., Warner Robins, GA

    We are working with Kim Johnson of Exceedingly Me Technical Training and Job Readiness, Inc. to create a workshop for the dads and boys in the special needs community. This event will focus on some sensory friendly actitives that are stem related and hands-on because many of our boys and young men need those types of provisions to learn new activites. This event will also have a focus on teaching these boys and young men to put on a tie and learning some positive affirmations that will help build positive self esteem. All of these skills are needed as these boys and young men enter into the adult world and our community. This event is also for the dads and men in our community that are trying to parent a son or mentor a boy or young man with special needs. This event will allow them to focus on the able and not the label in order to build necessary skills as a boy or young man in this world.
