On April 10th, CPC organized a Special Needs Talent Show in Flushing in celebration of Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month, Autism Acceptance Month, and Neurodiversity Celebration Month. More than 170 special needs families and participants from CPC’s School-Age Child Care Center at PS 20 attended the event.

The inclusive community event provided participants with a supportive platform to showcase their talents, celebrate personal achievements, and engage meaningfully with the broader community. Through creative expression and public performances in musical instruments, martial arts, and dance, participants built self-confidence, strengthened social skills, and experienced increased visibility and inclusion. The event also created opportunities for families and caregivers to connect with one another, fostering stronger support networks and promoting greater awareness and inclusion within local communities.

Thank you to New York State Senator John Liu, representatives from the offices of Assemblymember Steven Raga, Assemblymember Nily Rozic, and Council Member Sandra Ung for joining us. Thank you also to the Citywide Foundation and Fu Generation Foundation for sponsoring this meaningful show.
