One of my favorite parts of visiting a farmers market is the ability to talk DIRECTLY to the folks that are producing the goods. The Autism Hangout Farmers Market will operate the same way. I think it's a GREAT idea to let the people building the products and services that help our special kids tell us their story. [:)] This THREAD will be reserved for videos of their interviews... which I'll be starting yet this week! Up first: Black Barn Bakery.

Mon, 16 Aug 2010 11:07:29 CST cevans@autismhangout.com http://www.autismhangout.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=380 Thanks so much for inviting us to "Hang Out" here with you! I am Aviva Weiss and I founded Fun and Function [url]http://www.funandfunction.com[/url] ("where special needs is COOL and affordable!") to help parents find affordable products that look and feel great on their kids. I am an Occupational Therapist and mom to 5 kids, one of whom is on the Autism spectrum. I was inspired to start my own company because I was frustrated by the lack of kid-friendly products, inconsistent quality, and high pricing. Fun and Function works together with parents and specialists to bring you the best, most innovative products that address the issues you face, while remaining reasonably priced and encouraging inclusion for all kids. I am so happy to be here on Autism Hangout and look forward to meeting you all! Aviva Weiss Fun and Function - Where Special Needs is Cool (And affordable, too!)

Cherri Saltzman and the Autism Shop. [img]http://www.autismshop.com/images/autismshopbldg.gif[/img] Cherri started this business after learning about her daughter's autism... and finding learning products for those with the condition hard to come by. Over the years, the business has grown nicely. If you need any learning or care products for your loved one with autism, stop by Cherri's shop first. I've also linked her into the RESOURCES part of Autism Hangout. [url]http://www.autismshop.com[/url] Thank you, Cherri!
