Children's Book: My Brother Has Autism
- This book was written by 8-year-old
Melody Igafo-Te'o and illustrated by her 10-year-old brother,
Michael, who has Autism. It is important to realize that siblings of
children with disabilities need time and encouragement to express
their individuality and feelings. Sometimes, these feelings are of
sadness, but as this book relates, sometimes these feelings are of
joy and pride. We need to let them know that it’s ok to have these
feelings. This book was written as a way for Melody to express her
feelings about having a brother with Autism.

Children's Agenda 2008
In 2008, more than seventy Michigan Coalition for Families member
organizations, including ACMH, called upon elected officials
and business leaders to support investments in Michigan's children. Out
of this call to action, came the
2008
Children's Agenda, which is now available online. |
