Team. #ASDProud

Many thanks to our partners at Salus at Drexel University Eye Institute for ensuring that 90 ASD students were able to receive a comprehensive vision examination this spring! An optometrist from the Eye Institute was able to provide exams to students during the school day in Salus' mobile vision clinic. If it was determined that a student needed prescription eyeglasses, they were able to pick out a pair on the spot at no cost to families! #ASDProud
