A huge thank you to the C3 Church in Watson for their kind donation towards our Physical Fun Program.  The church’s generous donation means the program will continue to run at Learning Ways in Gungahlin in 2013 with a group of 7 children. 

Rob was very happy to accept a cheque from Minister Melanie Marshall at the church’s xmas party – ”This donation is really important to us, because it will allow us to continue our specialised program, which has been proven to engage young people with an ASD,” he said, “What we have found is that there are a number of programs out there for very young children with an ASD, but there was nothing for those older children, so our program looks at those children aged roughly between 6 and 16.”  

The Minister was excited to be able to offer the chance for Learning Ways children to be part of the program saying “One of the values of the C3 church is belonging, and something that was attractive to us was that children with autism need to feel like they belong, and the Physical Fun program does exactly that.”
