On Saturday, April 12 from 11am to 3pm at 226 Pleasant Street in Housatonic, ExtraSpecialTeas will celebrate its ninth birthday of providing vocational services to special needs adults offered through two teahouse locations: 2 Elm Street in Great Barrington and in Housatonic. ExtraSpecialTeas supports, trains, and empowers young adults with diverse learning differences, such as autism, Down syndrome and sight/hearing impairment, to learn, work and thrive in the Berkshires.

April 1^st is World Autism Awareness Day and April is Autism Awareness Month, so it’s the perfect time for a spring celebration! The Blue Party (blue is for autism awareness, understanding and acceptance) will run from 11:00 am – 3:00 pm on Saturday, April 12 at 226 Pleasant Street in Housatonic, MA. All community members are invited to wear blue, post party pictures to their social media (tag @extraspecialteas #lightitupblue #brewbelonging) and come into the teahouse to sample an “ExtraSpecial” brew of our signature blue tea named “Blue Skies,” and sample gluten-free brownie bites made by ExtraSpecial Servers and staff. Hot, iced and bubble teas are always available for purchase!

The day’s schedule includes face painting, live music (Berkshire Bateria at 2), and dancing!
