Canine Companionship for Sensory Disorders
BAFOL, Inc. believes that canines help children who have sensory issues or who suffer from anxiety. We know how difficult it is to adjust too everyday life experiences.
For example, children on the Spectrum of Autism, tend to interact (verbally, gestures and sounds), enjoying their surroundings when playing with pets, rather than with inanimate objects. According to the Daily Mail.com, "there is a link between pet ownership and anxiety reduction. In the presence of a pet, the reduction of Cortisol levels (a stress-response hormone), in a study that Dr. Lupien conducted, demonstrated that the levels dropped when a canine was in the company of a child." You can follow up on the details to the study at: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-1322189/Dogs-reduce-stress-autistic-children-help-curb-problem-behaviours-finds-study.html You can read more about Canine Companionship Sensory Disorders at: http://4pawsforability.org/the-4-paws-story/ |
BAFOL teamed up with Give For Good Louisville (Hosted by the Community Foundation of Louisville), to participate in the annual Nonprofit Awareness. You can visit the link and assist us in promotions, volunteering, donations, etc. at https://www.giveforgoodlouisville.org/organizations/bafol

Global Community Partners
BAFOL strives to utilize the talents and skills of our volunteers and community partners when working with families that have loved ones on the Spectrum of Autism. Because of this, we have been able to organize various activities such as cooking classes, arts and crafts, gardening, photography, etc., for children who don’t have opportunities or the necessary resources. Which, affords them the same exposure and encouragement that other children without special needs can be involved in. This allows for them to be on a level playing field, so that they can achieve greatness in whatever they choose to do in life.
BAFOL WOULD LIKE TO THANK Alpha Media FOR THEIR IN-KIND MEDIA SUPPORT IN SPREADING THE WORD ABOUT THE UPCOMING BAFOL ART SHOWCASE AND FUNDRAISER. YOU CAN VISIT THEIR LINKS BY CLICKING ON THE THE TWO HIGHLIGHTED LINKS. YOU CAN ALSO VISIT THE B96.5 PAGE TO READ ABOUT OUR UPCOMING EVENT.
BAFOL’s ARTism Exhibition is designed to highlight artist affected by Autism, because art gives them a freedom of expressing themselves (thinking). It is a way that nonverbal and verbal children can just simply PAINT their interest for others to see (their world)! Because, for Autistic child(ren) and adults, their personal interest is a key part of their enjoyment of life. Taking away their interest, actually may mean taking from them the one pleasurable thing that they have (in an unpredictable world), a passion for. Certainly, if any interest would cause them harm or danger to them or someone else, than the interest would be redirected towards something else. But, for the most part, an Autistic child-teen-adult’s interests are harming no-one and helping them to enjoy the world they live in (which can seem rather scary).
Which is why we will be having an ARTism fundraiser on Saturday July 29, 2017 from 3-5pm at the Studio Works located at 2008 Eastern Parkway. Tickets are only $15 advance or $25 at the door. There will be door prizes, a silent auction, raffles, food, drinks, live entertainment, and much more. All proceeds will benefit the Booker Autism Foundation of Learning, Inc. (BAFOL) FREE Summer ART Camp (ages 8-12).
