On Wednesday, June 17th, at 7 pm, Mendocino County Library, Ukiah Branch, is presenting Hank Smith talking about his newly published memoir, Sticks and Stones: A Father’s Journey into Autism
“A child is diagnosed with autism every twenty minutes. It is the fastest growing developmental disability, with a staggering 1,148% growth rate. Stories like this one of my son are worthy of being told.”
Hank is a Kindergarten and Music teacher living in Northern California. Over the past twenty-one years, he has worked with an ever increasing number of autistic children. Living with his son has been a wonderful learning experience that not only has helped him in teaching the autistic children in his kindergarten and music programs, but has also given him valuable insight to share with their parents and his fellow teachers.
