The Spectrum Studio in Philadelphia exists so that children with autism can participate in activities with their siblings, parents, and friends. Fran O’Donnell and Cynthia Day started the organization to encourage kids to play and socialize whether they are on the autism spectrum or not. Activities take place in O’Doodles, a toy store that encourages kids to “unplug from their computers and gadgets.” The studio has enlisted the help of Lisa Auerbach Baum who specializes in sensory integration and social skills training. Happy HeARTS Yoga will hold classes in the space as well as acting classes offered by Creative Dramatics-Family Stages. O’Donnell and Day also plan on hosting the Lego Stop Action Movie Making Class.
