I’m a hobbyist luthier working with reclaimed local materials making experimental and exotic instruments from the world over. I’m looking to show off some of my projects, and hopefully connect with other makers in the same sphere and we can learn together!
AUTISM 1st: from chaos to conduction
My name is Joe Heiderscheit. For the past 15 years I have been a practicing professional counselor and professional art therapist with families of children on the autism spectrum. This month, I am publishing my first book AUTISM 1st: from chaos to conduction. AUTISM 1st is a new psychoeducation curriculum of care for parents, and providers to utilize with people on the autism spectrum. The book is filled with professionally illustrated symbols and metaphors to simplify complexity of neurodivergent life within a neurodivergent framed world. I would like to present examples from the AUTISM 1st tool kit, as well as merchandise that re-enforces a shared language from the AUTISM 1st Family Provider Network. Thank you.
