The Autism Consultants extend additional Orange Spot Recognitions to the following staff members for their part in making our Sensory Friendly Santa events a success: Jessica Bluhm for coordination; Michelle Enwiller & Linnea Nelson for set up and use of their decorations; Cheryl Taylor, Julie Clauss, Meagan Ratzlaff, Mark Pratt, Jeff Adams, Travis Culver, Mike Villanova, and Ericka Thomas for the use and set up of the building.
Feedback from a family in attendance says it all: “It’s calm, we get our own time and when your kiddos run around touching everything and everyone and every decoration they see, the staff and supports let it happen with JOY on their faces. This is where we belong. These are our people. We are really ALL IN THIS TOGETHER. Our family is so lucky to have all of these people rooting for us, on good AND bad days.” #OrangeSpot #SaginawISD #OurStory
