Marianne Regan, Event Coordinator said, “As a parent of a child who is on the autism spectrum, I know the challenges of finding quality programs for my child.  The whole process is very time consuming, and since his needs are constantly changing, I am always looking for new programs.   This event will showcase many organizations from Somerset and the surrounding towns that offer quality programs for people of all ages.”
