SUMMARY:Building Play Skills in Children with Autism
DESCRIPTION:Children with autism often lack the ability to play with toys and games. Instead\, they show restricted or repetitive play. Occupational therapists are experts in building skills for daily life through play-based activities.

Learn why play is important and what you can do TODAY to help increase your play ability. \nCara Koscinski earned her post-professional Doctorate in Occupational Therapy\, Master’s degree in Occupational Therapy\, and BS in Health Sciences. Cara has been a therapist since 1997. She is a professor at the University of Saint Augustine’s MOT and OTD programs. She currently provides occupational therapy services\, advocacy\, and consultations as The Pocket Occupational Therapist and specializes in autism\, Sensory Processing Disorder\, behavior\, and social skills training.  Cara has appeared on CBS on Anderson Cooper Live and has been published in Autism Asperger’s Digest\, Autism Spectrum Quarterly\, APFED\, Something Special Magazine\, and NewsLine\, among others.

SUMMARY:The Hackensaw Boys & Cruz Contreras
DESCRIPTION:The Hackensaw Boys\nFor touring musicians\, the road is a harsh mistress. It takes an iron will to survive and a hard-headed love for music so deeply ingrained that the mere thought of a missed gig makes you nauseous. For 17 years\, the Hackensaw Boys have plowed the asphalt\, bringing their raw\, gritty version of American roots music to the venues and streets that originally inspired them. Born in Virginia\, along the same routes as fellow road warriors/street buskers Old Crow Medicine Show\, the Hackensaw Boys have at times operated more as a collective than a band\, sometimes boasting up to twenty members. What’s kept them together is a burning hot vision of American roots music brought kicking and screaming into a new age\, fueled as much by a rowdy punk spirit as by the traditional masters that first inspired them. Now with their new album\, Charismo (April 15\, 2016 on Free Dirt Records)–their first studio album in almost a decade–the Hackensaw Boys have a new lineup and a new lease on life. Led by founding member\, guitarist and songwriter David Sickmen\, they’re back on the road with new songs\, determined to get their fans back on the dancefloors they remember so well. \nCruz Contreras\nMulti-instrumentalist\, vocalist\, songwriter\, and producer Cruz Contreras has roots in Tennessee and Michigan\, but has impacted Americana music worldwide. \nThe frontman\, founder\, and driving force behind The Black Lillies’ raw and rootsy sound also co-founded Robinella and the CCstringband\, and has collaborated with musicians ranging from John Oates and Jim Lauderdale to Langhorne Slim and The Turnpike Troubadours. Cruz’s projects have topped both the Billboard and Americana radio charts\, won Independent Music Awards\, and been nominated for the Americana Music Association’s Emerging Artist of the Year award. \nCruz has appeared on nationally broadcast television including Late Night with Conan O’Brien\, CMT\, VH-1\, GAC\, Bluegrass Underground and PBS Television’s Sun Studio Sessions. His music has been lauded by outlets as diverse as American Songwriter Magazine\, Rolling Stone\, NPR’s Morning Edition and Vanity Fair\, among others. Contreras is currently at work on his debut solo album\, to be released Spring 2020.
