Looking forward to talking!

- Founder and Exec Dir of Spectrum Arts, Inc. ("Shenanigans".)
Shenanigans is an applied improv theatre program that addresses the communications challenges of children and adults who have Asperger's or high-functioning autism and other related developmental disorders. We have a team of caring and talented improv instructors who "get" autism, and we find our program growing throughout the metro Atlanta area.
My background is evenly divided between the left-brained me and the right-brained me. I've got a decent business background, I enjoy crunching numbers and the strategic and tactical planning that comes with operating a business. I also find great satisfaction and enjoyment in my Saturday afternoons on the piano, or singing in the car, or creating a mural.
When you live with a child who has Asperger's, you, of necessity, become more educated and researched on a subject you never anticipated you'd need. I know the challenges those on the autistic spectrum face just trying to get by in a world that is so mysterious to them. Because I believe that the joy to be found in experiencing the arts is an integral part of a well-rounded life for people of all abilities, I see accessibility to the performing and creative arts for those with autism as a way to not only develop social skills, but to gain self-confidence and esteem through the experience of performing.
