Description
Outdoor activities bring joy to countless people with autism, all across the spectrum. We are incredibly honored to have two of the nation's top leaders in the field of sports and outdoor recreation for children and adults with autism and disabilities. Sallie Bernard is the founder of Ascendigo, based in Carbondale, Colorado, and Katherine Hayes Rodriguez, is the former director of Achieve Tahoe, located in California. We discuss their winter and summer programs, how these activities promote well-being in the participants — even those with extreme challenges — and their families, some inspirational stories, costs and overcoming obstacles, and accessing sports in your area. Hosted by Jill Escher, president of National Council on Severe Autism
