Red, White, and Stripes Day at Our Manassas Clinic!

Our Manassas clinic celebrated Red, White, and Stripes Day with a little learning and a lot of fun. Kiddos and staff enjoyed reading together while also learning about Dr. Seuss, whose real name was Theodore Geisel, born on March 2, 1904.

Moments like these help create engaging opportunities for children to build curiosity, connection, and learning through shared experiences.

At Autism FIRST, we love finding creative ways to bring learning, exploration, and joy into the day.
