Benches of Belonging
Create Spaces Where Everyone Belongs
At Spectrum Autism Support Group, we believe every individual deserves a place to rest, connect, reflect, and feel a sense of belonging. Through our Benches of Belonging campaign, we're enhancing our Sensory Garden and Adaptive Playground by adding beautiful park benches that create welcoming spaces for individuals with autism, their families, and our entire community.
Whether someone needs a quiet place to regulate their senses, a comfortable spot to watch a child play, or simply a place to pause and enjoy nature, these benches will provide lasting comfort and connection for years to come.
Leave a Lasting Legacy
Sponsor a commemorative bench for $2,500 and create a meaningful tribute while supporting Spectrum's mission.
Each sponsored bench includes:
- A personalized commemorative plaque mounted on the back of the bench
- The opportunity to honor or memorialize a loved one, family member, organization, or business
- A lasting gift that supports individuals with autism and creates a more inclusive community
Our goal is to install 10 Benches of Belonging throughout the Sensory Garden and Adaptive Playground.

Why It Matters
Outdoor spaces provide countless benefits for individuals with autism, including opportunities for sensory regulation, exploration, social interaction, movement, and relaxation. By enhancing our Sensory Garden and Adaptive Playground, we're creating spaces that foster inclusion, encourage friendships, and provide families with a welcoming place to gather.
Together, we can build a community where everyone belongs.
