Autism is a lifelong developmental disability that typically appears during the first three years of life. It is estimated that 1 in every 68 children is diagnosed with autism and some studies suggest boys are more likely than girls to develop autism and receive the diagnosis three to four times more frequently. Current estimates are that in the United States alone, 1 out of 42 boys is diagnosed with autism. Join us as we learn a brief background on Autism, what the “red flags” of Autism are and what resources are available in our area.

In this class we take a more in depth look at both the exposure and the basic characteristics of light. What do we want to look for with light? What does it mean when we say hard or soft light? Or can we modify or even create the light we want? And then in the second night of class we will concentrate on using a shoe mount flash, both on and off camera, to create the image(s) we want. Students with their own flash gear are welcome to bring it. Otherwise, you can just bring a camera with a hot shoe and there will be gear that you can practice with.

INVESTING IN HUMAN POTENTIAL

foundation.bhc.edu

“I am a mother of two grown children and I have been married for 22 years. It has always been a dream of mine to be a nurse. Life happened, I raised my kids and now I am on my journey to complete nursing school. I work full time at the VA clinic in Davenport and I attend school at night or do online classes, I am just so happy with the path that I am on right now.”

–Mona Hardy, Norbert Barwasser Memorial Scholarship recipient
