Why it's a great idea:

Every Child matters.As a mother to an Autistic child i know first hand how isolating life can be when you have a child with a disability. Individuals with autism often face significant challenges in areas such as social, emotional and communication skills. Community-based instruction, art, and music provide access to enriching and valuable instruction that promotes physical, emotional, and social growth.We strive to empower individuals with autism by providing community access and meaningful skill-building programs, while engaging the community through outreach and education We provide a hands-on learning experience for typically developing individuals to volunteer as friends and mentors to youth with autism through the Community coaching program. Disability is a complex and challenging issue. Whether arising from physical or intellectual impairment, disability has both social, and health implications. Improve well being for parents by creating outlets to relive the stress .
