In 1970, the Autism Society launched a nationwide effort to promote autism awareness and assure that all affected by autism are able to achieve the highest quality of life possible. Today, World Autism Month seeks to spread awareness, promote acceptance, and ignite change. (fb)

Slippery Rock Program Center Instructor Danielle Mitchell recently led a lesson about clouds and rainbows. The area watched short videos about how rainbows are formed and how clouds make rain. Afterwards, the group did an experiment using shaving cream as clouds. They used eye droppers to slowly drip food coloring onto the clouds. The clouds eventually became too full, so they rained color into cups of water. The group enjoyed the hands-on experience and the learning opportunity! (fb)
