1. Be nice to everyone! This really hits home for me because of my son. I’m always worried about him getting picked on by other kids because he has autism. The kids in his last class were great, and I’m hoping his 6th grade class will be just as awesome. 2. Be proud of what [...]

I want to start off by telling you a little about the company. Conceived in 2006, Tegu is fairly new.

I blogged briefly before about art and autism. I contacted Crayola to see if they would be interested in participating in this event and I was so happy that they wrote back.
