F.A.S.T. – Family Autism Support Team

Art can be very beneficial to children with autism as it fosters self-expression & confidence. Creating art helps improve fine motor skills, coordination, and precision. It also offers a sensory-rich experience, with various textures, colors, & materials, which can accommodate the diverse sensory needs often associated with autism. FAST has teamed up with Little Leaf Art Studio (Autumn Orozco) to offer art classes to children on the spectrum again in 2024! These classes aim to provide a unique opportunity to improve to explore & communicate emotions in a non-verbal way.

Our Music Therapy will now be led by Shanice Richards from Healing Hearts Music Therapy! Based on her schedule & travel from Tallahassee, FL to serve us, sessions will be on Thursday afternoons at this time. Session times vary between 3:30 - 6:15 PM. Pre-Registration is required (Link Provided Below). Space is very limited so please only sign up if you plan to attend! Location info & your child's time will be sent via email closer to date.

​

This event is sponsored by FAST so there is no charge to FAST members. The charge for non-members is $10.

Check out this video below to see photos from our previous Music Therapies, led by Wimberly Giardina, MT-BC of Southwest Georgia Music Therapy. Unfortunately, she moved away but we have been making new music memories with our families with Healing Hearts Music Therapy!

FAST has partnered with Recoil Trampoline Park to offer sensory friendly Family Jump Nights periodically through the year! During these special private events for our families, doors are closed to the public and there are smaller crowds, softer music, and MORE FUN!

​

FAST sponsors the full price of admission for a limited number of current FAST members. Siblings/parents can jump as well for a reduced admission group rate (paid to FAST). All admissions include unlimited jump time during the hours of the event plus a FREE pair of Recoil socks (required to jump).

*Spectators are always free at Recoil. Laser Tag & Virtual Reality not included. Please make sure to complete an online waiver with Recoil for everyone who plans to jump in your family.​
