Surfers for Autism
I had the pleasure attending another event put on by “Surfers For Autism” this weekend at Daytona Beach, Florida. This is just a great event and organization that anyone with a child anywhere on the spectrum should consider attending. I am sure that they are looking for volunteers not only for helping the children learn to surf but also with administrative issues. They do a great job with children of all levels of function and skill regarding to surfing. The event is totally free. They provide food and snacks. They negotiated an excellent rate on the event hotel. All in all, if you live anywhere near one of these events or perhaps can plan a weekend trip around one of these events I think that most children on the spectrum would benefit from this experience. As the founder of the Hitautism support group www.hitautism.net , I can tell you that I am behind this event and that our members truly enjoyed participating. Here is the link to their website. I would suggest that you check it out if not for the last event that they have this summer, then for the coming summer. Http://www.surfersforautism.org/index.html
