Mechanical Skills for Autistic Children

Post by dcombs »

Hi Gang,

I thought some of you might be interested in this. My son was labeled with "educational autism" last year and perhaps some of you have had a similar experience... I'm putting this together. I still have a very long way to go but I'm hoping this program will support children and families too.

Here's a link:
T.A.C.T. - Teaching Autistic Children Trades: https://www.gofundme.com/2upt8tuc

Please feel free to share if you know someone who might be interested. As I get it built I'll be looking for teachers too, please let me know if you might be interested or have a good recommendation of someone.

Thanks,
Danny

Wow, this is amazing!! My nephew has been diagnosed with Autism, but he's too young to get into any trades just yet.
