The event was hosted by Autism Services at Lansdowne Children's Centre, offering activities, crafts and the egg search in Lansdowne's safe and inclusive environment. The event was attended by 66 children and their families.
The Egg Hunt event provides children and families a secure and comfortable setting to practice social skills such as taking turns, stop and go movement and transitioning between different environments. The children also get to work on developing skills such as gripping and picking up, communication, coordination and movement.
