![]() The Courageous Steps Project’s Step Forward initiative, recently launched in December of 2017, has already had a tremendous impact on one school in the Bangor area. The middle school students at the Dr. Lewis Libby School are currently listening to founder & executive director Connor Archer through his Step Forward Discussion series that he is doing with schools. Connor is continuing to work with the students throughout the month of March. In April, a community panel discussion event will be taking place in the area. This event will be FREE for the public (especially for families that have a child diagnosed with a challenge, along with educators). If you have questions, please email us at: [email protected]. ![]() Join us for our first ever Masquerade for Awareness on Saturday March 24th at the Morgan Hill Event Center in Hermon from 7pm-11pm. This event aims to raise awareness and funds for local children and adults living with autism and other developmental disabilities.
