Autism Society of the Keys Offers Free Monthly Workshops

The Autism Society of the Keys (ASK) invites you to join us for free workshops in Key West, Tavernier and Marathon. The upcoming Key West meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, September 5 from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m. at the Grace Lutheran Church located at 2713 Flagler Avenue. The next Tavernier meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, September 12 from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m. at 156 Pueblo Street near mile marker 90.

Workshops are designed to inform participants of resources available to your child and family and to create and provide continuing support through personal interaction with other families who are living with autism. Resources include financial assistance with co-pays for doctor visits, help with transportation costs, specially programmed iPads, swimming lessons, special-needs equipment, and first-hand experience with the family challenges of autism.

Autism is a group of developmental disabilities that can cause significant social, communication and behavioral challenges and is the fastest-growing developmental disability today. One in 68 children is affected by autism and includes hundreds of children in Monroe County.
