Pennyhooks Farm: providing rewarding and meaningful opportunities for young adults on the autism spectrum / Lydia OTTER in Good Autism Practice - GAP, 12-1 (May 2011)
[article]
Titre : Pennyhooks Farm: providing rewarding and meaningful opportunities for young adults on the autism spectrum Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Lydia OTTER, Auteur Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : p.75-78 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This paper describes how a family farm opened its doors and developed facilities to enable local young people on the autism spectrum to engage in ail aspects of farming. Lydia Otter, one of the farming family, started to work as a teacher with children on the autism spectrum in 1993. Then, 10 years ago, she was supported and encouraged to invite older students with autism to work on her farm. This has been extremely successful so that over 75 students to date have participated in farm life. Lydia explains the type of experience the students enjoy on the farm and why she feels that the Pennyhooks environment is so suited to those with autism. She was inspired to develop this provision further following a conference session on the Bittersweet Farm Community in the USA and it is hoped that this paper will encourage other farmers and services to consider setting up similar opportunities in conjunction with her, in other areas of the UK.
