If you are not familiar with what TSA is, it stands for Technology Student Association and the team of students which are enrolled in Technology Engineering classes. Our middle school's TSA team attends and competes in approximately 30 different events related to Leadership, Communications and Technology. 

These students have attended 3 mini-conference this year and now need the funding in order for them to register, attend and compete at the upcoming TSA State Conference. There are about 14 students which have qualified to go to the TSA State Conference. To qualify, each of these students had to give up 3 Saturdays to attend mini-conferences and compete in their respective events. Our school's TSA team has received numerous trophies and awards at these mini-conferences. In fact, a young lady on our TSA team is a TSA Western Region officer, and the first for our middle school!

The TSA State Conference is April 7-9 and will be at the Reed Center in Midwest City like last year. If WE ARE GOING TO HELP these students attend this event, which they have been working towards, the TIME IS NOW!! ☆ Visit the fundraiser for the OKC WEBSTER TSA team HERE and help MAKE THIS HAPPEN!!

I'm Looking for "a Few Good Writers" Who Would Be Willing to #Share a Post with @NathansVoice for April in Support of #Autism Awareness Month!

Dear Reader,

You might be visiting my autism resource blog for the the first time, or possibly haven't visited in a while. If you are a parent, a caregiver or a grandparent of a child with autism spectrum disorders, I would be most honored to offer you the opportunity to share your story in a Guest Article on Nathan's Voice in April to support Autism Awareness Month! I wish that had more time to write and post on my autism resource blog but, I'm working full-time in the self-contained autism classroom at a local middle school, the leader of the AutismOKC parent support group, and taking care of my special needs family while completing a college course each semester towards finishing my associate's degree at a local junior college and eventually acquire my teaching certification in Special Education. 

There is no obligation and no deadline's when sharing through my autism resource blog. I know how busy life can be and there's enough of that in our already overwhelmed schedules! When your ready, just email me what you want to share in an attached Word document, along with any photos (credits, if borrowed), links and the instruction for the placement of each, at Lorrie@AutismOklahoma.org. I don't make changes to anything without contacting the Guest Writer first. I hope that I have covered everything but, I am always glad to answer any question, at any time. The only thing is that it might take me a few hours to get back to you, if I'm in the classroom, taking a college exam, assisting my own son whom has high-functioning autism or his older brother whom has adhd with a school-related project. I will respond as soon as I possibly can. Thank you for your understanding and patience!

If you haven't had the opportunity to check out Nathan's Voice before now, please time time to look around and see what we have been up to. Please take all the time you need to make a decision but, kindly remember that April is right around the corner! Whether you "Light It Up Blue", make goody bags to hand-out to service providers, or wear your favorite t-shirt in support of Autism Awareness Month, we would like YOU to share with us in the month of April!! I appreciate your time and I look forward to hearing from you when you are able to respond! 

Lorrie
