Action in Autism staff enjoyed their end of term Nature and Nurture team-building this afternoon. Thank you to Jennifer Rampersad, Senior Horticulturalist from eThekwini Municipality, for providing the beautiful seedlings for the activity. The staff thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Thereafter, staff engaged in fun exercises focused on SelfCare. The team-building ended with some tasty treats baked by our Shahumna Centre students and facilitators.

The young adults from Shahumna Centre spent the day at the Durban North Japanese Gardens.

They enjoyed a relaxed walk, took in the scenery, and spent time sketching in an outdoor setting. On the park tables, they practiced shading techniques from light to dark before each choosing something from the park to draw.

A big thank you to one of our parents for treating the group to KFC, it was thoroughly enjoyed by all.

A special thank you to art educator Kirsten Miller for initiating and joining us on this outing. A lovely day all around!

Thank you to the incredible Prof. Willene Holness who unpacked the draft Disability Bill in an accessible engaging way at today's workshop. We salute her for ensuring that the draft bill was adapted intto an easy to read version - making it accessible to everyone. It was through her unrelenting lobbying that this was realized. This is a first in the history of legislation development in the country. We thank all our autistic people and our parents present for their insight and input today. All input was captured and will be included in Action in Autism's submission to the Law Reform Commission.
