There is much work to be done, she says, and some of it is being done by women who attend the MIUSA WILD program. WILD is Women's Institute on Leadership and Disability.
This summer, for the seventh year, 30 women with disabilities will come to the state of Oregon from developing countries. They will attend four weeks of leadership training. Some of the women who attended in the past have become government ministers, members of parliament, lawyers, doctors and activists for people with disabilities.
We have talked about work and school. What about play?
Imagination Stage is a children’s theater in the state of Maryland. A special performance of each play is produced for children with autism. People with autism have difficulty communicating and socializing with other people. Children in the theater are allowed to move around during the performance. It’s OK if they shout out or hold their ears when the music is too loud. These special performances are sometimes the only way a family can go to the theater together if a child has autism.
That is the same idea with Autism on the Seas. This company organizes vacations for families of children with autism – especially vacations on cruise ships. Jamie Grover is director of group development for Autism on the Seas.
“The advantage that most of these families experience is having our staff on board that have the knowledge to work with their children and having the comfort factor knowing that they are going to be able to relax, enjoy their vacation, participate in ship activities knowing their children are well taken care of.”
