Autism Friendly Location.We provide individuals with autism an opportunity to be active participants in their communities by fostering a safe and understanding public environment.
ACCORDING TO THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL (2012):
Autism is the
FASTEST GROWING SERIOUS DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITY in the U.S.
MORE CHILDREN WILL BE DIAGNOSED WITH AUTISM THIS YEAR than with AIDS, diabetes, cancer, cerebral palsy, cystic fi brosis,
muscular dystrophy, or Down Syndrome - COMBINED.
THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW
IDENTIFICATION OPTIONSProper identifi cation helps families feel more comfortable and welcome in public places. Once other people are aware of an individual’s disability, the more understanding and helpful they become. • “I’m AOK” lanyard• “I’m AOK” shirt• “I’m AOK” identifi cation sticker
CHARACTERISTICS OF AUTISM: • Lack of eye contact • Diffi culty understanding what is said • Inability to communicate • Disinterest in people and play • Sensitivity to lights, sounds, smells, touch and textures • Repetitive behaviors • Tantrums caused by frustration at the inability to communicate basic wants and needs • Tantrums caused by over-stimulation from the immediate environment
WHEN COMMUNICATING...Speak directly to the individual with autism, as you would approach any other customer. Just keep in mind, though, he/she may not respond.
Many individuals with autism are non-verbal or their speech can be hard to understand, so they may communicate through their parents or with communication devices. Be prepared for: • PARENTS ASKING FOR YOUR PATIENCE WHILE THEY HELP THEIR CHILD FIND THE WORDS TO PLACE THEIR ORDER AT A RESTAURANT • Being patient while an independent individual enters an appropriate response in the communication device • Giving a parent the take-out menu they request so they can practice ordering food at home
GUIDELINES FOR COMMUNICATION • SPEAK IN SIMPLE, SHORT PHRASES • Speak slowly • Do not raise your voice; the individual may be sensitive to loud noises • Get down to a child’s level • Use language that is easy to understand • Give simple choices • Repeat what they have said so they know they were heard • Be positive and smile
SOCIAL SKILLSBecause they have problems with communication, individuals with autism often have diffi culties with social interactions. We encourage you and your staff to engage individuals with autism, but don’t be offended if they do not respond or respond inappropriately. To make persons with autism feel more comfortable in social situations, consider the following:
TRY TO... • MAKE EYE CONTACT; even if the individual doesn’t • Keep appropriate boundaries; even if the person stands too close or far away • Avoid making physical contact with the individual; he/she may be sensitive to touch One more thing: Individuals with autism may repeat what you just said. If you ask, “How are you today?,” they may respond with, “How are you today?” Go ahead and answer them. You’ll help them learn the appropriate response.
THEY MAY...During stressful and unfamiliar situations, individuals with autism may exhibit unusual or repetitive behaviors. Our hope is that the more times families expose persons with autism to outings in the community, and the more predictable the outings become, the more those undesirable behaviors will fade. • Talk about a topic that interests him/her; even if it has nothing to do with the current situation • Abruptly end the conversation; don’t be offended, it isn’t personal. • EXHIBIT UNUSUAL BEHAVIORS; hand-fl apping, foot-tapping, hair-stroking, hand-wringing
Environmental issues that can cause behaviors to escalate: • Loud noises • Bright lights • Communication diffi culties • Unusual smells • Changing temperatures
Individuals with autism may use these behaviors as coping mechanisms: • Flapping hands • Talking to themselves • Throwing a tantrum
Although these behaviors may be distracting, they are usually soothing and harmless. If, however, a situation poses a danger to the individual or to others, ask family if assistance is needed.
MOST IMPORTANTLY... • ACKNOWLEDGE THE CHILD’S OR INDIVIDUAL’S AUTISM IDENTIFICATION. Example: “I like your bracelet!” • Offer an autism identifi cation sticker. Alert staff and customers to be understanding of individual’s behaviors and special needs. • Use simple and direct language when talking to an individual with autism. • Allow extra time for an individual with autism to process and respond to a question. • Remember that a person with autism may understand what you say, even if they are non-verbal. • Look to caregiver for help with communication, if needed. • Give caregivers seating options. Booth or table? In a quieter section? Close or far from windows? • Ask caregiver if you can provide any other special accommodations. • Use picture communication cards, if available. • If tantrum occurs, allow caregiver to take the person with autism to a quiet place in the facility

Autism Friendly Locations asked us to design a welcome packet for them. They used the packet to send to companies signing on with AFL. These packets included an informational poster, a 20 page guide book, identification stickers to be given to autistic children, and window decals to show the place of business is an Autism Friendly Location. This welcome packet set the design for AFL’s brand.
AUTISM FRIENDLY LOCATIONS
St. Joseph’s Indian School came to us wanting a premium bookmark to send to their donors in a matching gift package. Because one of the symbols of the school is the dream catcher, I made them a dream catcher bookmark that included silver foil and embossing. The bookmark offered a high quality gift to give back to the donors.
ST. JOSEPH’S INDIAN SCHOOL
Thank you for supporting us!The Lakota children would like to thank you for your generosity. As a token of their gratitude for your gift of $30 or more, they would like to send you this beautiful fleece dreamcatcher blanket.

Dear <<Salutation>>,
For over 87 years, St. Joseph’s Indian School has been helping Lakota (Sioux) children in need … children whose daily lives are filled with hunger, neglect and gang violence. And today, the need is greater than ever!
Too many Lakota children live in “third-world” conditions, with families struggling to scrape by on annual incomes well below the national poverty line. They are witnesses to drug use, alcoholism, and abuse –– and too many of them become victims. The future for children in these conditions is bleak.
Lakota families depend on St. Joseph’s Indian School to help break this vicious cycle. With your help, we will continue to make a difference by providing stable living conditions and a well-rounded education to the Lakota boys and girls.
Please send your most generous gift of $10, $20, $30, or even $60. These precious Native American children need your help, and they are counting on you to share your blessings! We can’t do it without you! Will you send your gift today?
When you give the Lakota children a gift of $30 or more, they will send you a beautiful dreamcatcher fleece blanket as a token of their appreciation.
Together, we can fulfill our mission statement to “partner with Native American children and families to educate for life — mind, body, heart and spirit.”
Your gift today will help provide Lakota children hope for a future filled with endless possibilities!
Without you, Lakota boys and girls will not have the opportunity to grow up in a stable home and fulfill their dreams.
Along with a loving home and good education, our staff strives to keep the children’s Lakota culture alive.
Through our Cultural Awareness program, the children are able to regain pride in their heritage by participating in dance club that teaches traditional Indian dance and songs. It is important the children have these opportunities to embrace their heritage and with your help this important goal will be reached.
Please use the enclosed dreamcatcher bookmark as a reminder of the hope your support will give the Lakota children. Each day we reach out and change the
lives of so many Native American children. Will you help us make a difference for a Lakota child who has experienced so many difficulties already in life? We cannot let them down!
Pilamaya — thank you — for sharing your blessings with the Lakota children at St. Joseph’s Indian School!
God bless,
Chaplain
P.S. Send your gift today to give Lakota children an opportunity to escape poverty, substance abuse and gang violence! Your support helps provide the tools needed to reach their goals for a happy, healthy and rewarding future.

Homelessness is part of a vicious cycle. United Way of Greater Los Angeles is working to break that cycle.
As the voice of L.A. County, United Way is leading the way towards fulfilling a new vision: a community where poverty and homelessness, failing students and blighted neighborhoods are a thing of the past.
It can be done. In fact, we are already seeing amazing results!
Our action plan to end chronic and veteran homelessness is not only on track, but ahead of schedule. Thousands of our most vulnerable neighbors have already been housed.
Plus, our goal of increasing the County graduation rate to 75% is also well within reach. As students across the region prepare to head back to school, we’re asking for your help.
We’re committed to ensuring that children have FOOD, SHELTER and SUPPORT. We’re reaching out to local middle schools because research shows that it’s our last chance to help these kids before it’s too late.
If we don’t take action now, then when? If not you, then who?
Schools are already starting their new year. Please send in your gift today.
Did You Know That In L.A. County: 1 in 5 children lives in poverty? 51,000 people are homeless? Only 61% of LAUSD students
graduate? (71% countywide)
It’s unacceptable. We can do better!
Your gift can help BREAK THE CYCLE for one child.
1 in 5 CHILDREN IN L.A.ARE LIVING IN POVERTY
ONLY 71% OF STUDENTS IN L.A. COUNTY GRADUATE
Teachers see it every day: Children too hungry and exhausted from malnutrition to stay alert in class, who struggle to take tests and get their homework done. Suffering from hunger during these growing years can have lifelong consequences.
Homeless and impoverished children face unimaginable peer pressure. Gang members tempt and threaten them into joining their ranks. Older siblings or even parents might offer them drugs or alcohol. Without intervention, they will inevitably find themselves on the path to poverty.
At last count, LAUSD identified 16,000 homeless or transient children. They typically move often, which can be a difficult setback. These children struggle to get their homework done in the back seats of cars, on park benches or in a chaotic shelter environment. Shame and anxiety add to their burden.

The average American family spends $688 during the back-to-school season. For the 1 in 5 children in L.A. who live in poverty, that’s far, far out of reach. A scientific calculator alone can cost more than $100. In order to do their best, every student also needs a backpack, clothing and shoes that fit.

Please write your Christmas intentions on the back of the enclosed reply form so the Sisters can pray for you throughout our Christmas Novena of Masses December 16-24. If you’d like, you can even use the ornament to send a special Christmas blessing to one of our elderly Sisters.
I ask that you please return the ornament and prayer intentions by December 9th.
My Sisters and I want to remember you and give thanks for you as your ornament is hung on the tree at the Ossining Center of Hope. And as you hang your Christmas ornament with our special blessing to you, I hope you will keep us close in your prayers this Christmas, just as you will be close in ours.
Thank you for all you do to support our ministries of preaching, healing, and teaching. May the light and hope of Christ shine upon you and all your loved ones this Christmas season and in the New Year to come.
In Peace and Hope this Christmas Season,
Sister Lorelle Elcock, OP Prioress
P.S. Please remember to return your ornament along with your prayer intentions by December 9th, so we can pray for you during our Christmas Novena of Masses December 16-24.

CHRISTMAS BLESSINGS

Dear <<Salutation>>,
Every year people around the world prepare their hearts and homes for the Christmas season. They are reminded of the light and hope that our Savior Jesus Christ brings to each one of us.
With every ornament that is hung on the tree comes the promise of “good news of great joy”. It is in this spirit that I send you this special set of ornaments, which I am hoping will become a link to join you with the Dominican Sisters of Hope and thousands of other Catholics this Christmas.
I am sending you two ornaments, but I only want you to keep one of them -- the one with a special Christmas blessing for you and your loved ones. The other ornament, I hope you will sign and return to place on our Christmas tree in Ossining as a special Christmas Blessing to our Sisters.
The joy of Christ’s long-ago birth is everlasting because it restores our hope -- the hope of a compassionate God, the hope of salvation, the hope of Christ’s peace and the promise of eternal life.
What was once broken has been made whole in the Christ Child. What was once lost has been found in Him. What was once forlorn leaps with joy at the sound of His name: Jesus Christ, Messiah, Emmanuel, the King of Kings, and the Prince of Peace.
That is why, <<Salutation>>, the Dominican Sisters of Hope exist today. We are here to serve, to love, and to provide the peace and hope of Christ to all we encounter. We pray you will be able to help this Christmas with a gift of $<<XX>> or $<<YY>> or whatever gift is right for you this year.
Perhaps one of our most special ministries is that of providing a safe home and loving care for our aged Sisters as they approach the end of their earthly journey. We look to
.
Through your generous offerings, you are a part of this special ministry. You honor the birth of our Savior by caring for these faithful followers of Christ.
Is there something in particular you would like us to pray for this Christmas? Our Sisters want to pray for you this Christmas season as a way of thanking you for
