SENSORY SANTA EXPRESS

Hudson’s Helping Hands for Autism was founded by a mother and father who felt there was a lack of support on the East End for families like theirs, with a child on the autism spectrum.

Since its inception in 2020 they have been dedicated to providing programs, events, and support for families from Montauk to Manorville and beyond.

Each year Hudson’s Helping Hands hosts 3 large inclusive holiday events thoughtfully designed for every child, both with and without disabilities, to enjoy side by side. They provide an autism family workshop throughout the summer where families can connect, find support, and participate in important discussions led by a variety of professionals in the field. They also prioritize parent to parent support, such as guidance and resources, to families in need throughout the year . In addition seasonal equine therapy services, summer learning programs and activities, and launching this fall; an informational relative workshop for family members and friends is offered.

Every donation given not only helps to provide these already established supports, but also takes Hudson’s Helping Hands for Autism one step closer to creating an HHH Center. A place where families can seek information and referrals, receive related therapy services, take part in informative classes and workshops, bring their children to play groups, etc. Hudson’s Helping Hands for Autism dreams of having an inclusive sensory room, learning corners and rooms for children to participate in therapies and other related services, a safe outdoor space where children can freely explore and parents can finally sit and not have to worry. A place where families can come and immediately feel like they are not alone. A space that is so needed on the East End!
