As a kickoff to Autism Awareness Month, Autism Pensacola presents its annual Information and Resource Fair. 

Open to the public, the event will be from 6 to 8 p.m. April 5, 2018, at Marcus Pointe Baptist Church, Building A, Door 3, 6205 North W St., Pensacola. The Resource Fair is an opportunity for families, caregivers, teachers, and community friends to learn about the not-for-profits and businesses in this area that serve those with autism and other developmental disabilities. Light refreshments will be provided.

Vendors at this event will be presenting a wide variety of resources and services, including early intervention resources, therapy centers, assistive technology, transition and adult services, educational services, and many more.

This year’s guest presenter will be Natalie Rainbolt, a local children’s author who is on the autism spectrum. She will be presenting two talks on life with autism during the evening event. Natalie recently published her first book, “The Quiet Princess,” about a little princess with autism. 

She recently held a book signing, in conjunction with Autism Pensacola and Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Main Street Properties and realtor Jack Lara. Her book is available at Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble Booksellers.
