She has worked with my daughter at Summer Camp and Capurnum Ministries in Middletown. We are needing a volunteer to work with our daughter one day a week through the Butler County MRDD program she attends. Addie, our daughter, is 25 and has autism, on the more sever end of the spectrum. She attends the Middletown Enrichment Center on University in Middletown. We are looking for a volunteer to meet her and her staff at the Liberty Center, off route 4 near Hamilton. This would be a weekly volunteer opportunity and one that would require consistency....due to Addie's need for structure and consistency. We are attempting to phase Addie into the Music Sensory Room in that building. It would be a unique opportunity for a student because the Sensory room is a one of a kind room in our nation. It was created by a Music Sensory Therapist from California. It is an awesome room! We are having a hard time getting Addie into the building and then into the room. We have ask the Liberty Center for a down time room that Addie could transition into and then go from there to the Sensory Room once she was comfortable. Addie does wonderful with peer volunteers....all of my at home staff are college age and Addie responds to them like girlfriends.:) It has worked wonderfully...that is why I come looking for a college student. We are wanting the volunteer to be the reason Addie heads into the building.....the lure.....a friend to experience the room with.:) I would be glad to pay for their gas to and from the Liberty Center. Below is my contact information if you find someone interested in the opportunity.:) Thank you for your time.:) Melanie Moon Home....513-422-0040 Cell....... 513-320-1111
