Creative Arts & Media (CAM) Concord had the incredible opportunity to film their project, “Getting There” along the beautiful water at Benicia State Recreation Area during magic hour—creating a setting as unforgettable as the story itself. At our Art & Media programs, we empower participants to express their creativity, develop valuable media skills, and apply what they’ve learned toward meaningful career opportunities.

On September 5th, the Kipekee Society is offering free haircuts hosted at The Groom Room Barbershop in Oakland, CA.

The Groom Room Barbershop will provide sensory-friendly, accommodating services, including quiet announcements before clippers are turned on, a dry-cut option with no water spray, and stop/slow-down communication cards for guests who are nonverbal or prefer not to speak.

This event is creating a welcoming space dedicated to both autistic adults and children, recognizing the need for greater accessibility, understanding, and support in everyday life.

From Jacob Nyamu, Founder of Kipekee:

“Beyond the haircuts themselves, this event is really about raising awareness that autistic adults are still very much part of our society and deserve support, dignity, and community, not just services aimed at children. That message matters as much to us as the haircuts do.”

Meet FMS Sacramento’s Vincent. And this is his first mural! In Cora’s art class, the assignment required students to create either a character or an environment, and Vincent chose to bring his original character, “Scarlight Burn,” to life on a big scale.

Vincent has been drawing his character for years, this mural represents not only his first self-directed mural but also the culmination of years of creativity and character design!
