Autism Awareness

On April 5 a science festival called “Sensational SciFest,” is designed for children with sensory sensitivities. This festival is hosted by Scientists Inc., in partnership with CARD-USF (Center for Autism and Related Disabilities).

The SciFest offers a sensory-friendly environment where children can participate in hands-on activities, that can include art and chemistry experiments, without lights, crowds, or noises.

According to a press release from YES! of America United, the event will include:

● CARD-trained volunteers and demonstrators to provide a supportive and understanding
environment.
● A quiet room for children who need a break from stimulation.
● A sensory room equipped with tools and activities for children seeking sensory input or
regulation.

This event will be held from 10 am to 4 pm at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Tampa, 11400 Morris Bridge Road and it is free admission.
