What I did: Over fall break I worked on writing an email explain what I want to do for my senior project to email to a few contacts I am trying to make. After perfecting my email I sent it to a few places, one of the woman I met at an event the past week has already responded to my email! I also worked with a few homeschool children some more seeing what happens when I give them more direction. (4.5 hours)
I also got in contact with DMC autism center. I am trying to get a tour of the facilities sometime in the upcoming weeks. (30 minutes)
I gave my information to a parent, who has an autistic child who is very interested in art. I am waiting to get a call back from him later today. (1 hour)

What I discovered: I have discovered that it is a lot harder to get contacts for my work then I thought it would be. But now that I have finally made some, they seem to be a ton of help.

What I should do next week: This coming weekend I am going to try to see if I can visit DMC.
I am also going to try to meet up with the one student I have had contact with so far. If possible I am going to try to make a few more contacts in the Walled Lake School system and see if they have any students who would like to get involved.
