Join us for a joyful, family-friendly egg hunt at Lavender Fields! Children of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities are warmly welcomed. We are committed to making this event inclusive and accessible—children who are entitled to accommodations, including wheelchair access, are absolutely encouraged to attend. Tickets are only required for children.

April Sensory Art & Craft Workshop at the Milford Library will begin with a guided painting activity, where children can explore creativity through colors, textures, and self-expression in a sensory-friendly environment. Following the art portion, there will be a music & movement session, where children can engage with instruments such as shakers, tambourines, and clackers, along with guided movement activities that support coordination, sensory regulation, and social interaction. The program is designed to be inclusive, calming, and engaging for children on the autism spectrum.

Each session includes:

• A structured welcome with a visual schedule

• Sensory warm-up activities to support regulation

• Guided art activities using textured and adaptive materials

• A calm-down corner with fidgets and sensory tools

• Brief parent connection and resource-sharing time

In addition, each participating child will get a free sensory toy to take home, helping extend regulation tools beyond the workshop. Pizza and drinks will also be provided for families, creating a welcoming, community-centered environment where parents and children can connect comfortably.

All materials, trained facilitators, volunteers, sensory supports, and refreshments will be provided to ensure a positive and fully supported experience for everyone involved.

Registration Required.

Delaware Network for Excellence in Autism-Practice Traffic Stop

What is a practice traffic stop?

This program allows autistic drivers and passengers to work with the police in a safe, friendly space to practice a live traffic stop. It’s a great way to meet the police and ask them questions. 

What will happen during the practice traffic stop?

During the practice traffic stop, you will drive your car in a parking lot. The police will pull you over like they would if you made a driving mistake. Then you will practice the steps of a traffic stop. Before coming, you should watch the pre-driving video and review the resource guide, What to Do During a Traffic Stop or Car Crash. Both resources can be found below.

How do I sign up for a practice traffic stop?

Interested drivers can sign up to participate in a 30-minute practice driving traffic stop. This opportunity is in partnership with the Delaware Natural Resources Police, Delaware State Parks, and the New Castle City Police Department.

Sign up for a 2026 date!

• Who: Delaware Residents. Autistic drivers and passengers of all ages are welcome.

• Police: Delaware Natural Resources Police and New Castle City Police Department.

• Sign up: Registration will be required. Limited spots are available.
