Union County, NJ – In recognition of April as Autism Acceptance Month, the Union County Board of Commissioners presents a new edition of free online programming for persons with disabilities and special needs, featuring interactive fun for the whole family. The series is hosted by the Union County Office for Persons with Disabilities and Special Needs.

The two upcoming events are:

  • Virtual Dance Party — Friday, April 23, 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., for ages 13 and up.
  • Bubble Trouble with Jeff Boyer – Sunday, April 25, 11:00 a.m. – noon and 2:00 – 3:00 p.m., for all ages.
