NeuroSpice Events
Let’s Meet IRL
Free Playdate at We Rock the Spectrum
Join NeuroSpice Girls and the Kennedy Krieger Institute Spark Team for a free playdate at We Rock the Spectrum on Sunday, January 19th from 10 am - 12 pm.
SPARK is an autism research study and a growing community of autistic individuals, their families, and researchers on a mission to advance the understanding of autism.
Learning about the genetic causes of autism will help find potential treatments and preventive measures for things that are common within subtypes of autism, like digestive issues and seizures. SPARK is not using these findings for eugenics. The data collected will help SPARK understand autism more and it’s comorbidities, in hopes of finding suitable treatment for each autistic individual.
Learn about the SPARK research opportunity! If you have already registered, but never filled out your kit, SPARK team members will be onsite to assist with collection.
You are not required to participate in the SPARK project to be able to attend.
Play in the We Rock gym for free!
Connect with other moms of the NeuroSpiceGirls community!
