You've found Special Needs Project -- a unique disability bookstore. We carry books, videos, DVDs and related items about mental and physical disabilities...for parents, professionals, educators, family members and persons with a disability. We have the largest collection of books about autism spectrum disorders (nearly 800 titles) we know of. |

 In 1869, John Muir wrote, "When we try to pick out anything by itself we find that it is bound fast by a thousand invisible cords that cannot be broken, to everything in the universe." That's surely true of human growth and existence. At Special Needs Project we do our best to be a comprehensive resource for the entire community concerned with disability and child development. If there are books or other materials you think we should offer--we hope you will share them with us. |

The Art of Autism is a Movement
...and the center of the movement, like many others, may very well be everywhere. A bright center that we know of, though, is in south-central California's beachside community of Carpenteria. There, Debra Hosseini and her artist son Kevin are at the heart of it. Recently SNP had the opportunity to meet some of the gifted artists in the group, and see their work in shows at galleries in Santa Barbara and Ojai. Here's what Debbie and her fellow conspirators say about what they're trying to do.
The Mission
The ART of AUTISM is a collaborative project that connects artists and performers of all ages on the autism spectrum with opportunities and venues to showcase their varied talents. We are committed to promoting artists and educating the general public. We help artists through mentorships, building resumes, portfolios, and direct work experience in the arts. By bringing awareness about the artistic gifts of people on the spectrum, The ART of AUTISM inspires the general public, gives hope to parents of children on the spectrum, and provides self-advocates with tools for professional development. The ART of AUTISM shifts consciousness about autism. The Art of Autism actively seeks venues for visual and performing artists. In 2011, we had young authors participate in book signings (books they've written); spectacular entertainment shows in theaters in major cities; art displays in galleries, libraries, and book stores; and small film festivals.
By bringing awareness about the artistic gifts of people on the spectrum, The Art of Autism inspires community members, gives hope to parents of children on the spectrum, as well as adults with autism, and shifts consciousness about autism.
Special Needs Project sells the new edition of the project's book of exciting and provocative art, put together by Debbie Hosseini and edited by Keri Bowers. You can purchase it directly from them, too. We think you might like to learn more about The ART of AUTISM. Here is how to get in touch with them:
