This was posted on another list I belong to. I thought I'd pass it on for those who may be interested.

This summer, the ABC TV show Extreme Makeover Home Edition called us
(Abilitations ) to help with an episode.

If you are not familiar with the series, they basically choose a needy
family every week and a team of designers comes in and totally renovates
their home in 7 days.

They filmed an episode this summer with a family that has a son with autism
and Abilitations was called to help provide equipment. My colleague Sue
Wilkinson and I ended up spending the week in Detroit where this episode
was filmed, so got to be on the set and 1 on 1 with the show star Ty
Pennington and the rest of the design crew. We basically helped design a sensory room
in the basement for this young man with autism.

The show is set to air Sunday Nov. 7 @ 8pm on ABC and will be a 2 hour
special! I should have some kind of on camera appearance, and then they
will show alot of our equipment hopefully! This is going to be great for
disability awareness for autism and for the hearing impaired, as both the
parents in the episode are deaf.

It is supposed to be one of their best shows to date, so please spread the
word and watch.
