Autism Portage Support Group

The upcoming Autism Portage support meeting will be held on Monday, April 26th, 7pm.

We are thrilled to have the opportunity to tour the Sensory Room at Portage Collegiate Institute. Albert Krynski, Lifeskills teacher, will give us an overview of the program, then introduce us to the Sensory Room. This room has been a tremendous asset to students in the Portage la Prairie School Division. Many students, including those with autism spectrum disorders, have found benefits from the features in this room, which includes fibre-optics, bubble columns and much more.

We will meet in Room 72 in the Prince Charles Building, Saskatchewan Avenue at 3rd Street SW. A link to a map of the EPCS building can be found on the Autism Portage website.

This tour and presentation will be of benefit to parents, educators and professionals working with children with sensory issues, not limited to autism spectrum disorders. Please feel free to invite anyone who may be interested in this tour to attend.

We look forward to seeing you there!
