Important information related to Autism will help you better understand and improve your awareness. Did you know that Autism is the fastest growing disability category among children between the ages of 8 and 18?

So impressive! Check out our article on Dylan and his artistic abilities.

The April edition of Inclusion: Raising the Ceiling is dedicated to Staycation ideas in Shenandoah Valley, and Autism Awareness.

Here is our brand new logo.

Special shoutout to Rebecka O'Roark, one of our talented post-grad students, who inspired this logo and developed this idea.

Thanks also to Zachary Stultz of Muddy Feet Graphics for making the logo into a digital format.
