We have partnered with various autism agencies and organizations as well as the archaeology and paleontology communities to run these events each year.
Has the person in your family on the spectrum ever wanted to excavate actual artifacts (some 8,000 years old)? Excavate fossils? Touch and hold actual artifacts? Learn how prehistoric peoples lived? Do they like prehistoric animals? What about playing with clay to make pots? We have all these activities and more!
