April is Autism Awareness Month. Clients from our Medicine Lodge location recognized it during a two-week project.
They created a large 7-by-7-foot puzzle so that everyone could have their very own puzzle piece to decorate in their own unique way. Once the puzzle pieces were decorated, they put the large puzzle back together to display on the wall.
Everyone joined in by wearing blue and learning about autism. They talked about how each puzzle piece was unique, showing that people think, learn, communicate, and experience the world in their own ways.
They plan to enter the puzzle in the Barber County Fair this summer. If you are in Medicine Lodge, try to stop by and see their wonderful creation.
