ALTOONA, Pa. (WJAC) — The Arc of Blair County held an artisan and craft show Saturday.
The Arc is a program that serves anyone from any age with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, autism, anxiety disorders, reading and speech delays, Down syndrome and other developmental or intellectual disabilities or mental health diagnoses.
All the vendors were participants in the The Arc program. They created the handmade crafts and were able to keep the money they had earned.
The Arc began this program focusing on individual skills. Throughout this past year, participants of the program were instructed on different tools, budgeting and social skills.
Each student selected a different creative piece to make and has worked hard for several months on his or her project.
