News: MAGIC Works for Kids with Autism

Thursday, August 18, 2011 - 13:10

Krysia Braun took the information she had gathered about her son with autism and founded the Middleton Abilities Group Improving Community (MAGIC) to help other parents learn and advocate for their children. She explains that there are many good resources for kids with autism in the Madison area, but she wanted Middleton parents to have their own support group. Their big push is to get recreational programs in place and to interest high school kids in becoming mentors. Braun says, “It would be great if teens could take on starting an inclusive Lego League, where kids with autism can practice taking turns. Or maybe they can help out at T-ball by explaining the rules of the game to kids like my son."
