Just In Time for Autism Awareness Month!

Thanks to Kevin over at Blu Dot Design Group for his amazing patience, 8 Little Monkeys is proud and excited to unveil a special item. Check out this special t-shirt at our shop. A portion of the proceeds will benefit OCALI, Ohio Center for Autism and Low Incidence, a local Autism organization that "serves families, educators, and professionals working with students with autism and low-incidence disabilities, including autism spectrum disorders, multiple disabilities, orthopedic impairments, other health impairments, and traumatic brain injuries."

For those of you who don't know me, I am the mother of 4 beautiful children and step mother "to be" of 4 children. Two of my children have been diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorders. OCALI has been instrumental in my children's developmental success. Our family moved from Texas to Ohio to access services and resources that would be beneficial for the kids' development. Thanks to the resources provided by OCALI,  this transition was a little easier for us. We have been able to access a wonderful lending library full of DVDs, books and much more. My family has also had the pleasure of attending one of the annual conferences that OCALI hosts.

OCALI offers so many programs and opportunities to help families facing challenges achieve maximum potential. Buying a shirt from 8 Little Monkeys is a small way to give back to a great organization while showing your support for this epidemic!
