Sensory Sunday at KiDiMu: reserve your spot

Last month was the kick off for the first Sensory Sunday at KidiMu. It was a huge success. 36 people showed up ages 3 to 15. Everyone had a great time. I especially enjoyed seeing the older kids enjoying themselves so much. It was a great opportunity for families to connect and even enjoy some adult conversation. The staff at KiDiMu is awesome and Kerry and Jaclyn from the UW Autism Center were playing right along with the kids.

Please forward this to anyone who may be interested.
