One of the great things about the Autism and Developmental Disabilities Walk, was meeting more families that face similar struggles. Ms. Lina Cardenas of PS56, along with another staff organized a group of their students to March every year at the walk. Her son is autistic and she is always doing workshops about services available. Thank you Lina for participating and helping us raise awareness.
