Approximately 500 high school students with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) will attend prom on Thursday, May 14, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the University of Miami’s Student Activities Center and Grand Ballroom.
The event provides an unforgettable experience as students with ASD bond with their peers in celebrating this important rite of passage. Students will participate by dressing in tuxedos and formal dresses, taking prom pictures, dancing, and the crowning of a king and queen.
The prom is free for participating students with ASD due to the generosity of community agencies, educational partners and businesses that provided funding.
