SAGE Crossing Farm Program for Autistic Adults

Watch how farm activities meet the need of autistic adults for meaningful work in an accepting and safe environment. SAGE Crossing Foundation has been established in Massachusetts to promote the idea of "farmsteads" for autistic adults, and to establish one (and eventually more than one) such facility. This video shows the SAGE farmers learning to perform farm chores, interacting with their helpers, with each other, and with the farm animals. For more info, go to www.SageCrossingFoundation.org

I would love my daughter to attend this farm, she will not do anything I ask of her. I know she can do things, but I have trouble getting her to be active and doing thing's on her own.

Can you HELP me????
