Tommy Byrne and his seven-year-old goddaughter, Isabella Guerriero, wrote and released this song for World Autism month. As an autism parent, this really touched my heart.
Carly Fleishmann was instrumental in changing the way that I interact and see my non-verbal son. When I heard that she was going to be on Jon Stewart’s Night of Too Many Stars, I was excited. When I heard that she was unable to do her interview with Stephen Cobert due to being distracted by pieces of confetti, I was saddened. When I read and saw how everyone handled it, I was touched.

If you thought that the Special Olympics Onslow County was just a spring and fall event, you are in for a big surprise!
The Special Olympics Onslow County has year-round sports training! Some of the sports included are Basketball, Golf, Tennis, and Soccer.
They are also looking for volunteers!
Able Buddies NC is a non-profit organization, helping to bring social acceptance, awareness and interaction to our special needs friends and family!
We have created this page to be a local hub for news, information, and events for our special needs community members of Onslow and Pender Counties.
We post our Monthly Special Needs Dance flyers on our Facebook page, Special Needs Community of Onslow and Pender Counties, but felt that we needed to have a centralized place filled with local resources, to make it easier for everyone to find the information that they are looking for.
As you browse around our pages, you will find 2 very important sections. The first is our calendar of events. We invite you to send us your family friendly events and happenings within our area.
The second is Randy’s List. This list is compiled of businesses and services, which we can personally vouch for. They have either donated to our monthly dances, or we have used their business/service directly. If you know of a local business/service that you believe should be added to Randy’s List, please contact us and share your experience.
Please come back often to check out our calendar, and also watch for Able Buddies NC fundraisers and events!
