Autism Society North Idaho serving the Northern half of Idaho, is asking for the help of our community leaders and businesses to join us in supporting individuals living with autism in North Idaho. We will be holding our Eleventh Annual Walk for Autism Acceptance on April 8th, 2023 in at the Kootenai County Fairgrounds in Coeur d’Alene. We encourage you to come and join us for entertainment, activities for children and families, and more! In 2021 and 2022 we were not able to do the walk due to the pandemic but are expecting a huge turn out this upcoming year. This is an important activity for the Autism Society North Idaho as we work to meet our goal to support, educate, and advocate for all people with Autism Spectrum Disorder, a neurological disorder affecting many families in North Idaho. We realize this is on Easter weekend, so we are incorporating Easter activities during the walk, such as an egg hunt and other ASD family friendly events – in hope to support the community celebrate the holiday weekend and enjoy time together. Anything you or your business can do to help us would be greatly appreciated. Please help us support the ASD community by raising funds for education, resources, events, activities, grants and so much more!
