The Morgan Autism Center faculty and service providers were ahead of the curve even before the shelter in place order was issued. We saw that school closures were inevitable and worked hard to implement an online strategy that includes a mix of activities: live Zoom sessions, Google Classroom, check-ins and live 1:1 work. Teachers and staff have had to re-imagine every aspect of programming to make learning accessible in this very difficult situation.
The results have been dramatic. Though there is no substitute for the on-campus programming we provide, our students and clients have repeatedly risen to the occasion, participating in and enjoying the offerings on hand. An added bonus? Parents are getting into it too! We are so pleased to see our parents in our live sessions, getting to know other students and clients and witnessing firsthand the kindness and caring that define the Morgan Autism Center philosophy.
Unfortunately, due to the shelter in place directive, we have had to cancel our Starry Starry Night fundraiser this year. We are sad to see this event canceled as it is so meaningful for us to showcase our students and their achievements as well as celebrate the amazing work our staff does. But, there are still ways to support Morgan Autism Center even in these difficult times. On May 5th, we will be participating in a special Giving Tuesday event. Your support is critical to us and we hope you will consider supporting Morgan Autism Center during this challenging time.
Best wishes as we navigate the rough waters ahead. Thank you for supporting Morgan Autism Center.
