New Book
RELEASE!
We are very excited to announce the release of our newest book, The Alligator Who Liked to Jump!
Archie loves to jump, build, and play, but expressing himself isn’t easy. When the other animals start listening, they discover that Archie isn’t so different after all.
Told in rhyme, The Alligator Who Liked to Jump! is a heartfelt story about friendship, acceptance, and celebrating what makes us unique.

From the amazing artist and Autistic woman, Sydney Edmond, for Autism Acceptance Month. Sydney is a great example of someone who was labeled as "low functioning." She is a brilliant artist and poet who uses an assistive device to communicate.
I am eager to share my thoughts and dreams this lovely month of Autism Awesomeness. I want you to be aware of the potential hidden inside so many people who live their lives on the autism spectrum. For many, there is opportunity knocking on their door if only they can find a way to blend into the general public. For others, potential is hidden beneath odd mannerisms.
They need support to find their way in amongst the people who will guide them to their path to success. And then, there are those of us who cannot speak or control our bodies. We require a person or persons with patience and kindness and a loyalty to us and our goals. This is a big job and I have heard one of enormous fulfillment and happiness. But obtaining such a support person is pretty difficult unless a family member sets it in motion. It is with great sorrow that I share too many non-speaking people with autism lack a parent with the devotion to set their child on a path to living a life worth living. It tears at my heart. I pray that by speaking out I might spark a parent to give their child the means to communicate. To give
their child the chance to learn in school amongst their peers. And to chart the course of their own lives. That is living an awesome existence. That is living - period.

Our next project . . . .
Many curricula and assessments still focus on an individual's deficits and try to conform them to the "norm." We wish to change the current perception of autism to something more positive and strength-based.
