Early entry for a quieter experience
-
Designated quiet areas for breaks
In addition to touring this historic ship, families will have the opportunity to attend two featured presentations hosted by the Center for Autism Research at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP):
-
11:00 AM – “Fathers, be present and intentional with your Autistic loved one”
Jamiel Owens, Autism Father and Family Relations Coordinator at CHOP -
11:30 AM – “More than Survival: Thriving in a world not designed for me”
Emily Reese, Poet, Autistic Self-Advocate, and Research Intern at CHOP
NeurAbilities, along with other local organizations supporting neurodiverse communities, will be present to share resources, connect with families, and answer questions.
🎟️ Admission to the event is included with the purchase of a self-guided tour of the Battleship New Jersey.
