We are a newly formed non-profit, CARD-NH, which stands for Center for Autism and Related Disabilities of New Hampshire. We have partnered with the space at Potterβs House Bakery to work together to open Cindyβs Sensory Room in Rochester, NH. Potterβs House is a local bakery in Rochester who not only makes delicious goodies, but also has a mission to help support young adults who have autism and other related disabilities. Part of the inspiration for the mission at Potterβs House Bakery came from our dear friend Cindy who had her own personal mission to support children with autism and related disabilities. Before Cindyβs passing, she worked for years in the private and public setting to help support children with autism and their families. She ended up working with Potterβs House Bakery when they opened to give on the job training to employees. Cindy is greatly missed and we have chosen to honor her in including her name in our new sensory room. It is our hope that Cindyβs Sensory Room will be a space for children of all ages with sensory needs to use. Customers can enjoy the space while visiting the Potterβs House Bakery or just come for a visit. Employees can use the space when needed and we hope to work side by side with the Potterβs House to continue their mission of on the job training to train young adults to work in this setting. Employees will receive training in caring for the equipment, scheduling the space and enhancing employee social skills when working with the public.
