A HUGE THANK YOU to the founders of Fashion4Autism, Alan and Summer Jooi for hosting a toy drive over the holiday season and choosing #CAND to be the recipient of over 100 sensory toys and craft supplies! When COVID started our center made the choice to remove the toys, books, and other items from patient rooms to ensure cleanliness and sanitized spaces. However, with this donation, each child that has an in-person appointment will now have the opportunity to select an item from our toy box to enjoy during their appointment and take home. #Center4autism #Hopeandhelp #Give4Change #Giveback #ThankYou #ASD #Autism #SpecialNeeds
