If you are able and feel this is a good cause, could you share our campain your circles. I would appreciate so much and the kids will certainly benefit! The Link below will take you to our fundraiser page.
Campaign goal of $205.00: Donate Here
We want to add an affordable gaming option for our Social Groups. The retrocade and a mini projector for the students to game on at our socials and during the summer camps. Gaming from the 80's and 90's was a shared experience, you went to the arcade or had friends over to play games. With the internet, many are now living lives of seclusion as their social experiences are based on online friendships. Video Gaming has become a positive social experience for our students. When we host a gaming social, the students are animated, they talk to each other, share interests and cooperate, exactly what we want from a social experience. Adding a retro arcade console with 90 classic games from the 80's and 90's not only speaks to our students interest in all things retro, it is an affordable and portable gaming system we can use for any event. The 90 games are built in, no internet connection is required and it includes 2 controllers. The addition of a mini projector will also allow us play the games in one of the rooms at the social group. We can also use the projector for movies, presentations and teaching during the summer camp.
Our popular social group has been creating positive social experiences for Autistic Teens and adults since 2012, we hope to continue growing and providing more social opportunities for Youth on the Spectrum!
