Olivia N running?
Creator   Olivia Northcott
Close at  Tuesday, 1 September 2009

The mini mosmarathon is happening on 14th June 2009.  I'm not known for my running ability, but I'm prepared to give the 5km event a shot and will probably look pretty silly as I crawl over the finishing line after everyone else!  But I am aiming to raise money for the charity, Giant Steps, which will help anyone with Autism and I would welcome any contribution, great or small, that you could make!

    Giant Steps Sydney

Giant Steps Sydney is a world leading educational facility for children with autism. The program is trans-disciplinary which includes speech, music and occupational therapy.  It is a high-level intensive program for children and young adults. The team approach at Giant Steps Sydney provides maximum support to families through the provision of home programs and frequent consultation with parents and carers.  All students engage in a full range of activities which are adjusted using a range of autism friendly strategies.  As Giant Steps entered its fifteenth year of operation, it became clear that there was a need for autism specific service provision for young adults leaving school.  As a result 2009 saw the opening of the GS Community College (GSCC) to address the need for an autism-specific post school options program.  The GSCC is based on the principles of the adult community education programs which provide the mainstream adult community with a wide variety of courses for continued learning.
