Aspergers
I have been meeting weekly (when we are both available) with a young Aspergers artist on developing his business skills for the last four years, as he has progressed from making his first sales and opening his business bank account to developing new marketing techniques and expanding his inventory; I originally met with him as he aged out of the Maize, KS, high-school special students center and since have met him at his supportive parents' home. I have worked with Aspergers Syndrome and Autism non-profit organizations in Wichita, KS, and have tried to keep current with nwe developments in the education of Aspergers and Autism students.
