SUMMARY:Ceramic Bells: Studio Without Walls Project--Session 1
DESCRIPTION:Part 1 of 4 in this ceramic series. Whether you have an accomplishment to celebrate or just want to make a joyful noise\, come learn how to make ceramic bells. We will use pinch pot techniques for the bells and make beads for the clapper and decorations. Once they’re finished\, the bells we make will be installed next to the Longwood T station in Brookline as part of a summer-long art festival through Studio Without Walls. The main goal of Studio Without Walls is to help provide artists with funds to get creative and give them a space to share their artwork. \nThis project is a four-part series that is free for all participants to attend. If you sign up\, you are required to be able to attend at least two of the four sessions to ensure consistency and that we create enough bells for the festival. Please note that the ceramic bells will not go home with participants\, but will be used in the public art installation. We encourage class participants to attend the opening art exhibit reception on Saturday\, May 30 for all artists who helped to create the bells. \nThis class will be taught by Julie Nussbaum\, who has a diploma in fine arts\, is certified to teach K-12 and has worked with people of all ages and abilities.

SUMMARY:Transitions Monthly Meeting Group (online via Zoom)
DESCRIPTION:Parents and caregivers are invited to join Cotting School Family Support and Engagement Coordinator Naomi Zuckerman and CTI Program Manager Erika Cain on Zoom for a monthly group meeting centered on resources for transition planning! These are open groups where parents and caregivers can come together for conversations related to your young adult’s transition. \nThis online caregiver’s seminar will be led by Mary McDirmid\, ChSNC\, of All Needs Planning. When Mary isn’t helping families navigate the world of special needs financial planning\, she is being a wife to Jay and a mom to Charlie and Ruth. In addition to her leadership role at All Needs Planning and a volunteer advocate for kids with rare diseases. She takes the title “Mom Boss’ seriously\, just ask her! Mary understands the emotional and financial aspects of caring for a loved one with a disability because she is the parent of a child with a rare disease. \nThis workshop helps families understand the numerous stages to be considered while developing a special needs action plan for their loved one experiencing a disability. Top considerations we hear and help our clients with: government benefits\, funding their lifetime\, tax efficiency\, insurance\, housing\, employment\, trusts\, ABLE and estate planning.  We believe that our clients are very capable of doing this planning\, the emotional aspect cannot be overstated as the biggest culprit in procrastinating.  Being understanding of how math\, emotion and habits intersect is our specialty. \nThe Zoom link will be sent out to you after you RSVP.

SUMMARY:Rock Climbing--Cancelled!
DESCRIPTION:This event has been cancelled as a result of the instructors not being able to attend anymore. We apologize for the inconvenience. \nJoin us at the Cotting School Campus Center Rock Wall to get the chance to use this state of the art wall to practice your rock climbing skills. CTI is very lucky to have Cotting School’s rock climbing team (Marcie Garon\, Dave Largenton and Jim) around to help us use all the adaptive equipment to get on the wall. No experience or equipment required\, please just come dressed in comfortable athletic attire and close-toed sneakers. Staff are trained in all types of adaptive climbing\, from light physical assists to paraclimbing where they get you out of your wheelchair and into an adapted seat to go up the wall in. All participants must have a rock climbing waiver filled out before they are able to get on the wall. This waiver will be emailed out at a later date.
