Megan Montague Cash Receives Autism Connection of PA

Certificate of Appreciation

Autism Connection's Informal Visit to New York

A weekend getaway to New York proved to be both relaxing and productive for Autism Connection's Director of Operations who had the opportunity to sit down with designers, artists, and illustrators that have connected with us across state lines while on vacation.

Professor Megan Montague Cash  has dedicated her career to illustrating and designing for children – all children. She routinely asks for insight and feedback from the autism and disability communities as part of her project, Designing for Children with Learning Differences at  Pratt Institute School of Design  in Brooklyn, New York. Autism Connection of PA is thrilled to be part of the feedback loop, and we look forward to Megan’s future projects as well as the amazing designs her students create.
