At-A-Glance
programs
Kenny's Connection takes a 3-piece-puzzle approach to establishing and
achieving our objectives:
:: programs and services ::
buddy
Our Buddy is the primary focus of our
organization and is where we try to accommodate
the full-spectrum of a child's needs, not just a
singular component. We are currently slated to
sponsor two Buddies for 2011, with a possible
third. This year we have been sponsoring
Landoch Family, with two Autistic Children.
community
The Community piece of the puzzle represents the
involvement of our community supporting children in our
community. Neighbors, friends, and family, working together
to improve the quality of life for children with Autism.
sponsorship
The Sponsorship piece of the puzzle is a piece that
represents the services and tools available for our Buddy or
Buddies. Our Sponsorship focuses on providing assistive
technology devices, equine (hippo) therapy, dance lessons
etc. Equine therapy or Hippotherapy benefits 3 major areas:
physical, emotional, and social. The physical piece is most
critical because the riding simulates natural walking and
strengthens and improves muscle tone; it improves posture,
balance, joint mobility, and coordination.
