Fourthirty Brand is a local bowtie business that hand crafts bowties. This month, there is a special autism awareness bowtie available for purchase. Not only will this bowtie help bring awareness to the community, but ten percent of sales will benefit Jackson Autism Center! The donation Fourthirty makes will go towards sensory equipment for Jackson Autism Center’s gym. You can find the business on facebook under “Fourthirty Brand.” Thank you Fourthirty!
Jackson Association for Children Under Six (JACUS) recently had their annual conference at the end of January. I was so excited to be a part of this conference and help bring awareness to autism and other developmental delays as well as posing strategies for how to work with children with delays and disabilities within typical environments. It is most ideal to have children with disabilities in typical environments so that they have opportunities to learn from their peers as well as learning the typical curriculum. However, this is not always suited for each child as some children may need to focus on learning specific skills.
