A Visit to Our Nation's Capital

FOCUS Alternative Learning Center visited Washington, DC from April 23rd- April 25th.
The Spectrum Unplugged Panel presented in front of members of the House of Representatives in Washington, DC on Thursday, April 23, 2008.  This meeting was set up with the help of Representative Chris Murphy and his office.  The members of FOCUS also took a visit to Senator Chris Dodd's office.  This trip will raise awareness of Autism Spectrum Disorders and the need for increased resources to our political leaders.  While in DC, Focus was able to do some site-seeing as well.  They saw some of the landmarks in the National Mall, Arlington Cemetary, the White House, as well as the Pentagon.

One of our clients, Ben Carroll is a very talented artist and animal lover.  His artwork is now on sale on notecards at the Autism Speaks store.  The money raised will go to help research and raise awareness of Autism
