Family Fun Day for Children with Special Needs

March 6, 2011 - PRLog -- Family Fun Day for Children with Special Needs

Adults and kids who like fun, music, and supporting children with special needs should mark their calendars and plan to attend the Family Fun Day, from 1:00 – 5:00 PM on Sunday, April 10, 2011 at Griffith Park’s Shane’s Inspiration Universally Accessible Playground, 4730 Crystal Springs Drive, Los Angeles.  Ample free parking adjacent to the event will be available at Griffith Park Carousel Lot 3 (below Lot 2).  Sponsored by DIR®/Floortime Coalition of California (www.dirfloortimecoc.com), the event will help raise funds and awareness about developmental treatment of children with autism and other special needs.

The event will feature the pop band “Arrest My Sister”, children’s musician Dave Taylor, comedy, children’s activities, child “sponsorships”, kids’ gardenting demonstration by Home Depot, a bounce house “marathon”, a t-shirt “auction”, food for sale, and short, inspiring speeches by actors, filmmakers, parent speakers, authors, and an effective special needs lobbyist.  Children can have a great time and parents can learn more about state and local advocacy for treatment for their children.  Professionals are also invited to learn more about DIR®/Floortime intervention programs for children with special needs.   To donate or volunteer,  go to http://www.dirfloortimecoc.com  or contact Andrea Davis, Ph.D. at (626) 795-7910 or adavis@GreenhouseTherapyCenter.  To attend this free event, check out the invite at http://floortimefamilyfunday.eventbrite.com,  mark your calendar, bring your relatives and friends, and join us on April 10th!
