for LIVING GOOD LIVES on the Autism Spectrum Conference!
The Youth Advocate Program Autism Institute, in partnership with
the University of San Diego School of Leadership and Education Sciences, presents LIVING GOOD LIVES on the Autism Spectrum. This 3-day conference (April 29, 2009 through May 1, 2009) is an exploration of autism that challenges present definitions and explanations by demonstrating the power of accommodations and inclusive, relationship-based approaches to create access to “the good life” across the autism spectrum.

YAP Coat, Blanket and Food Drive
Program Services would like to send out a big thank you to everyone who contributed to our 1st Annual Warm Hearts Coat and Blanket Drive. Thanks to all of your contributions, our drive was a huge success!
We collected 47 coats, 4 blankets, 5 sweatshirts, and a huge bag of various hats and gloves!
We divided everything up between men, women and children. We donated all the men's coats and two blankets to the Bethesda Mission. We then donated all the women and children's coats and two blankets, along with the bag of hats and gloves, to the YWCA.
Thanks again for making our drive such a success. We look forward to our 2nd Annual drive next year, and have a few new ideas to add to the mix!
Additionally, the Dauphin Family Clinic would like to thank everyone who helped out with the food drive. We were able give six families some much needed help. Thanks to your generosity, these families will be able to have a nice Christmas meal with their families. All the families had multiple children which helped them have a nicer Christmas.
