Stellenbosch Village Museum – Mr B’s Classroom

Stellenbosch, South Africa has their very first Ability Guidebook! This will support autistic visitors to the Village Museum.

I want to humbly thank the National Education Association Foundation for honoring me for choosing me for their Global Fellowship not once, but twice. This fellowship has allowed me to create over a dozen Ability Guidebooks for Peru and South Africa. The NEAF in an incredible supporter of people with special needs and I am forever grateful!
