<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>Austin Adults with Autism Celebrate Grand Opening of ‘An Independent Me’ (AIM) Residence and Summer Camp that Aims to Empower and Inspire </strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><em>Community-funded and job-focused residence creates opportunities for developmentally challenged adults</em></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">AUSTIN, Texas June 25, 2012 - <a href="http://www.livingwithmeaning.org/">An Independent Me (AIM),</a> a full-time residence and summer camp for adults (18 and older) with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in Round Rock celebrates the grand opening on <strong>Saturday, June 30<sup>th</sup> from 4-8 p.m</strong>. AIM kicked off its first session on June 11, 2012 and the first two weeks have been a major success. Adults at AIM have learned how to sew, build a picnic table from wood planks, care for livestock on the ranch-style property, and plant the seeds for an on-site vegetable garden. The grand opening is open to the public and will include bar-b-que, horseback riding, a petting zoo, games, and a silent auct
ion featuring camper-made art and picnic tables.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">AIM exceeds standard expectations of group homes for individuals with development disabilities, providing:</p>
<ul style="margin-top: 0in;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal">personalized care, attention and support with a 3:1 ratio (three campers/residents to one staff member);</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">working with specialists to create developmental plans for each camper; and</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">partnering with local community organizations to offer unique job and volunteer opportunities for them.</li>
</ul>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in; mso-pagination: none; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Last week, one animal-loving camper shadowed a veterinary technician for two days at nearby Block House Creek Animal Hospital. Angela Day, AIM founder and mother to son with autism beams with pride, <span style="color: #1a1a1a;">"In developing An Independent Me, my heart is full as I spend time with the smiling faces of these innocent souls, teaching them to become as independent as possible, and providing rewarding and individually challenging activities for them on a daily basis."</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The opportunities created at AIM open doors and help residents and campers uncover new skills and aspirations. “<span style="color: #1a1a1a;">The AIM camp pushed my 17-year-old to do things he might never have done before by understanding him, encouraging him and cheering him on,” </span>according to Trina Sherman, mother of a current AIM camper. “<span style="color: #1a1a1a;">He comes home with a new confidence and new social opportunities that will enrich his life far beyond what just two short weeks can do.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #1a1a1a;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #1a1a1a;">As AIM continues to build on its strong start, it plans to partner with the Texas Department of Assistive and Rehabilitative Services (DARS), who has already expressed its support. Jennifer Kaut, DARS Autism Program Specialist states, </span>"I encourage the efforts of AIM ranch to enlist campers in the DARS process and to focus on increased independence through work. I love that AIM is trying to honor and promote their strengths.”</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Austin, Round Rock, and Cedar Park communities are invited to attend the grand opening event on <strong>Saturday, June 30<sup>th</sup> from 4-8 p.m.</strong> at</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">4350 E Whitestone Blvd<br />Cedar Park, TX 78613 </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
