No Limits

4/26/2023

We had some very special visitors from Wounded Warriors Amputee Softball Team (WWAST NY) at the Center yesterday.

Members of the USA Patriots Amputee Softball Team, Greg and Nick, came to spread their message of “no limits” to our participants and tour our facility. They spoke on messages of overcoming adversity to participants.

Every day an adult with Autisim pushes on, not accepting limits. To have these gentlemen at the Center was an event of shared inspiration.
​
We thank them tremendously for touring our Center and sharing their stories. Looking forward to supporting them on July 15 when they are back on Long Island.

​So exciting to have our friends from Flag & Anthem support the Winters Center for Autism for the second year in a row. Throughout the month of April they have selected our organization to receive a portion of the proceeds from their t-shirt sales.

They have been so generous in providing apparel for hospitality training and desensitization for interview prep purposes.
​
Thank you for coming to tour our space and for the ongoing support! Be sure to check them out and get your #AutismAcceptance T-shirt before the month ends!

We are so happy to start #WorldAutismMonth off strong by announcing our new Employment Partnership with Jake's 58 Casino Hotel and Suffolk OTB.
