The Educational Partnership for Instructing Children (EPIC), celebrating their 14th anniversary, received a grant from the Drive for Autism Foundation. This fulfills a number of needs on EPIC’s wish list, including TV sets, special furniture, and educational materials. The TVs will be used to show instructional videos to demonstrate social interaction skills, the furniture will be used to better house equipment and supplies, and tables can be used to teach skills such as folding laundry. Dr. Paul Argott, Clinical Director at EPIC, stated, “Our goal is to enable our learners, to achieve as much independent function as each is capable of, so when they leave the school one day, they can function as independently as possible in the natural world."
