April is Autism Awareness Month! Assemblyman Santabarbara is hosting his second Annual Autism Day at Via Aquarium in Rotterdam THIS SUNDAY APRIL 8th. Via Aquarium will be opening early at 9:30am to make it easier for children and adults with autism to enjoy a day exploring the new aquarium in a sensory friendly environment.

Assemblyman Angelo Santabarbara and his 16-year-old son, Michael, who was diagnosed with autism at age 3, will welcome the more than 1,500 guests that are expected to attend. "Autism is the fastest-growing development disability in the country," said Santabarbara, who serves as chair of the New York State Assembly’s Subcommittee on Autism Spectrum Disorders. “About 1 in 68 children in the United States are living with autism, and I’m so very pleased to partner with Via Aquarium to help raise awareness in our community and also bring a unique opportunity for children and adults with autism to enjoy a day exploring in a sensory-friendly environment.”
