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.
