First Year Placement @ Creating Alternatives!!!

As a first year student at Seneca College, one of our duties were to find a placement to work at for second semester. While searching for placement oppertunities online, I had come across Creating Alternatives. This agency is a day program where adults with developmental disabilities can learn essential life skills such as cooking, cleaning, reading/writing, arts, and even the importance of healthy lifestyle and fitness. I requested an interview and successfully got the placement!!! I had a great experience interacting with the participants. They were all welcoming, friendly and very outgoing. I can absolutely say that I excited to start next semester working with them. ...here is a link to Creating Alternatives Website http://www.creatingalternatives.ca

A PICTURE SPEAKS A THOUSAND WORDS

"Maria Iliou is a Greek artist with autism spectrum disorder. She lives in Long Island, New York, and is an advocate for the rights of people with autism." (West, 2011)


When people say that people with disabilities are not capable of doing anything..HAH!
Look at the amazing artwork Marie Iliou made. Did I mention she has autism?
