South Shore Conservatory (SSC) announces it is a grateful recipient of an Autism Community Impact Grant of $7500 from the Doug Flutie, Jr. Foundation for Autism. These necessary funds allow SSC to offer more Creative Arts Therapies programming for individuals living with autism, allowing them to engage in arts activities outside their homes. The Autism Community Impact Grant is awarded through an application process and supports traditionally underserved, underfunded, culturally diverse communities reflected in the Flutie Foundation's areas of impact. South Shore Conservatory strives to be the leader in inclusive and accessible arts education on the South Shore. These funds help remove financial barriers which may stop individuals from participation. SSC music therapists have found that making music together builds social capital and allows participants to become part of a real community. It also gives them tools to express themselves in a healthy way and boost confidence outside of a studio or classroom. “We are grateful to the Flute Foundation for their continued support of our Creative Arts Therapies programming,” said Director of Community Engagement Kristi Faby. “Our CAT program serves the autism community in a variety of ways, including through individual and group music therapy and dance therapy, drum circles, and SSC Community Voices choruses. The impact of continued funding from the Flutie Foundation would be bringing quality accessible arts programming to individuals with disabilities throughout the South Shore.” "The Flutie Foundation Autism Community Impact Grant helps our partner agencies address a variety of significant needs in the autism community," says Nick Savarese, Executive Director of The Doug Flutie Jr. Foundation for Autism. "Programs such as these help people on the autism spectrum live life to the fullest and we are proud to support their efforts."
