What About You Walk

Hi all,
I just got in from working at the What About You Walk here in Ann Arbor.  The event brought together a lot of different organizations concerned with kids with disabilities.  I worked with the Autism Alliance.  The Autism Alliance is about 1 and a half years old and they are trying to get all the Michigan organizations for autism to group together.  I worked at the art table in Autism Alliance's booth .  I was hoping to interact with kids but there wasn't really much traffic that way.  I did gain a lot of insight talking with other volunteers both from our booth and the other organizations that were there.  I plan to look into an organization called FAR in Birmingham.  A woman from the Autism Alliance explained that they are about all the expressive therapies: art, music, dance, and drama. They apparently work with kids with many different types of disabilities.  I thought it sounded interesting.
