About Thomas & Friends
"Thomas has helped my son get into the world of not just language, but also how people feel"
Parent of a nine year old boy with autism
Many children with autism have a particular love of Thomas & FriendsTM. Research has revealed that many parents felt that the characters played a significant role in their child's early learning and development. For children who may have little or no understanding of emotions, body language and facial expressions, the bright colours and clear facial expressions make the characters easy to identify and relate to.
Our partnership with Thomas & FriendsTM to theme this family-fun sponsored walk to raised money for autism is therefore highly fitting.
