SUMMARY:Sensory-Friendly Halloween and Free Vaccine Clinic
DESCRIPTION:Madison Children’s Museum welcomes children and families with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and sensory challenges to experience the museum during sensory-friendly hours\, free of charge.

Click here for the vaccine registration link and list of available vaccines. \n\n\n\nThis program is free to all attendees! Pre-registration for the event is recommended\, but not required. \n\n\n\nMajor Support provided by \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n. \n\n\n\n\nRegister Now
