2014 Chattanooga Autism Awareness Walk


 This week, a committee met to start planning the 2014 Chattanooga Autism Awareness Walk.  I was fortunate enough to be able to be included in this meeting and am excited to be involved in different aspects of planning the walk.

November 8th is the day here in downtown Chattanooga, Tennessee. You can start a team and gather donations, share the walk with others and even learn more about the autism spectrum on the walk website and the Chattanooga Autism Center's site as well.

We are also seeking sponsorships & prizes for the walk, so if you're interested, let us know through the site as well. We are all looking quite forward to sharing our work with you and letting even more folks know how awesome our children and adults on the spectrum are in the Chattanooga area. All the money stays local and gets used for the community right here. How awesome is that?


If you've got any questions or comments, leave me a note here & let me know what's on your mind- I'd love to help and get even more folks involved!

What's Going on Here?

 I'm Jenny, an educator of 4 years & recent graduate with my masters in special education. I'm very interested in furthering my learning in the special education field, particularly in working with students with Autism.

Yep, that's me!
My goal with this blog is to share what I learn as I continue researching & implementing new methods, tricks & things that didn't quite work. Also, I plan on letting everyone in on any professional development, training opportunities & whatever else fun stuff is going on that might be beneficial to others. 

I'm by no means an expert at this point, but I can't imagine ending learning & not finding more answers. If you have any questions or topics you'd like me to look into, feel free to leave a comment & let me know on a post. I'd love to be able to help anyone else that I can.

Have a good one & we'll get this show on the road!
