April is Autism Acceptance Month and the Renfrew Public Library invites the public to join in efforts to raise awareness to promote autism acceptance, as well as celebrate neurodiversity and individual differences throughout the community.
The library has recently added a kit to its connection, creativity and caring collection. The new item is called the child sensory kit, and it includes a weighted blanket, ear mufflers, robot fidget toy, glow in the dark fidget toy and three sensory fidget tubes.
Those interested in borrowing the kit can visit the catalogue linked here: https://renfrewpl.insigniails.com/Library/ItemDetail…
Library officials also want families to know about three scholarship opportunities from AutismOntario for individuals on the autism spectrum and their families. The deadline for these applications is April 30, 2024.
