Free Puppet Show Teaches Kids/Parents about Autism at Lafayette Library

With Autism on the rise and more children with disabilities entering the school systems, more help is needed to teach children about Autism (or any special need), compassion, understanding and acceptance.

The Friend Tree Autism Center presents "The Language of Friendship" Puppet Show at the Lafayette Library on Monday, Sept. 16th @ 11:30am.

Families with children with ALL abilities can come and enjoy this 20 minute puppet show, story-time reading and ice cream social, so learn more about Autism and about how to be a friend to children who need a little more help to initiate those friendships.
