Break Through In Teaching
Autistic Children
Pre-Schooler's Workshop, in
Garden City, N.Y., a therapeutic,
nursery/kindergarten for
children with learning, language,
and behavior problems has made
a significant break through in
teaching autistic children.
The Workshop, now seven
years old, is a pioneering,
demonstration school. Pre-
Schooler's Workshop and Mrs.
Judith Bloch, the Director, have
produced two (2) films that show
the way three (3) autistic
children have emerged and
developed and the techniques
necessary to help these children
enter the world of the more
communicative and joyful child.
The two films, "A Time For
Georgia" (an EFLA award
winner) and "Jennifer Is„ A
Lady" clearly show the
children's gains and prove the
original hypothesis that early
educational intervention in
disturbed children fosters and
hastens socialization and the
learning of language. In a day
even normal children are not
learning what they should in
school, the progress of these
children is all the more
remarkable.
Media Outreach has selected
both films for presentation on
Channel 47 (WNJU-TV-the
Spanish language UHF station)
on Saturday, Feb. 16, 1974 at 11
P.M. The Media Outreach project
- Yo Tambien Puedo/I Also Can -
- was funded by the Bureau of
Education for the Handicapped to
use the medium of television to
identify handicapped children; to
educate the parents of these
children in the specifics ef
parenting with a handicapped
child, and to motivate them to
look for appropriate service, and
to develop a referral system that
creates continuum of in-dividualized
care.

SINCERE CONDOLENCES
Our deepest sympathy to Mr.
Joe Reid, practically a life-long
resident of Lynbrook on the
sudden death of his wife, Fanny.
Joe and Fanny made their
special place of business one of
the most popular in Lynbrook and
the quiet and kindly Fanny of the
wonderful DeSano family, also
long-time Lynbrook residents
•will be sadly missed. She was the
oldest daughter of Mrs. Mary
DeSano of Edmund St. and has
left shocked and deeply bereaved
sisters and brothers. Fanny
always had a nice thing to say
about anyone mentioned and had
a host of good friends. It is hard to
find words when God takes
someone from our midst in what
seems to be the prime of life but it
is not for us to question of course
when our time comes. She was a
truly beautiful person and made
Lynbrook and her own loved ones
that much happier by her life.
