MY VISION!
My ultimate dream is to build a year-round AI Resort in Barbara’s honor in our birth State of Texas for people with Autism. It will be named the BAM Resort. This resort will feature horseback riding, fishing, swimming, hiking, art, crafts, sports, feeding the animals (cows, chicks, and maybe pigs), to name a few. Therapies will be offered: speech and language, social skills, life skills, occupational and physical therapy. One of the goals will be to offer internships to university students majoring in special education with a specific concentration in autism, and offer community service credit to high school students who may need community service. Volunteers will be sorely needed at every level of the operation. Additionally, employment opportunities will be offered to people with disabilities.
My vision for the foundation is also is to fund services through an application process for kids with autism whose parents cannot afford it and when other funding sources have dried up. The foundation will also offer scholarship opportunities for kids who want to go to college or obtain training at a vocational center.
This resort will offer parents up to two weeks of respite with the knowledge that their child will be left in the best possible hands while they get a much needed break.
The plan is to have it fully operational by the Spring of 2010. The resort will be funded by the Friends of Barbara Ann Mayfield Foundation. Log onto the website for updates.
