 ♦ Work side by side a team of professional artists, led by veteran filmmaker, Joey Travolta.

♦ Those seeking to explore careers in filmmaking and technical theatre. 
 ♦ Those needing to participate in a vocational skills assessment process. 
 ♦ Those desiring to transition into long ‐term arts‐related vocational training programs.

Tuesday Parent Support Group

If you have not yet RSVP'd to attend the parent support group next Tuesday, I strongly suggest you not miss this speaker.  If you heard him talk last year, you will already know his message is worth schlepping out of the home to hear him.  Bring your kids, others who care about autism spectrum disorders (including your child's teachers), and the kind neighbors.   This individual with Asperger Syndrome is able to give a unique, articulate insight that is rarely heard first hand.  It WILL be worth your time!!!!

 

Remember: We are meeting at Stockdale High School Library at Buena Vista Rd. and White Lane. 

 

Also, please note the upcoming Travolta Two Week Intensive workshop. 

This June workshop is not endorsed or paid for by KHSD.
