KIDLAB @ GMU |
|
KIDLAB is telling the story of
the functional brain, what it looks like as it develops, creates, and
solves problems, and what it looks like when you have autism or
Asperger's syndrome. Our research nests in the community so we can teach
children and families about neuroscience research and get them excited
about participating! AsIfBags is a part of our community STORY program.
We study talent and seek to show some of the good things about brains
that have autism, Asperger's, and attention disorders. Check out the
video documentary on our homepage! |

GIVE AUTISM HOPE |
| Give Autism Hope is a not for profit
organization invested in providing lifelong opportunities for children
and their families with the disability of autism and related disorders.
The vision of Give Autism Hope is to open a school
where education, treatment, therapeutic services, recreation, camps,
support groups and community events will be an integral part of the
school program.
The goal of our inclusive school (educating typically developing peers
alongside peers with disabilities) is to create a village within a
village enabling all children to live and work in the community in which
they live.
Presently, Give Autism Hope is looking for corporate sponsors,
individual donors and donated land. We are dedicated to this endeavor
and invite others to join us in our fight to provide services and
opportunities all children and their families deserve!

About us Why AS
IF? Aspergers
Syndrome
In the
Family
AS IF works to increase awareness of Asperger's Syndrome and autism
is general and to support charitable organizations focusing on autism.
In addition to financial support, we provide website links, distribute
flyers, donate purses for raffles and auctions, and even host home shows
where a portion of sales is donated to charity. If you know of an
autism-related charitable organization that needs our help, please let
us know.
The company is run by two sisters, Ann Benefield of Washington, D.C.,
and Susan Hardt of Silver Spring, Maryland. Our purses are handmade and
machine washable. They range from whimsical sock monkey bags to
sophisticated accessories crafted from imported fabrics. Our most
popular handbag models are listed online, but it is impossible to show
every one-of-a-kind item we produce. We have also expanded our offerings
to include cosmetic cases and mini scarves that allow women to show
their own personal sense of style.
Please join us at our craft shows to see the widest possible current
selection. If you don't see exactly what you are looking for on our
website, please contact us (e-mail,
telephone, snail mail). Let us find the perfect bag for you!
Happy shopping!
Ann Benefield and Susan Hardt
