In partnership with Texas Southern University Department of Human Services & Consumer Sciences and the City of Houston, Young Audiences of Houston ’s  Community Services presents the third annual “Master Inspirations” student art exhibition of Houston area students from schools that serve children with learning differences and difficulties. Each year the exhibition features the works of students from local HISD schools such as, T H Rogers,  Helms Contemporary Center, and Dodson Elementary Special Education Dept, as well as private schools; Briarwood, The Monarch School and The Westview School. The exhibition showcases student’s works in photography, painting, sculpture and other mediums inspired by such masters as Romare Beardon, Freda Kahlo, George Rodriguez, Van Gogh and others and serves as an outlet for creative self-expression and communication for these unique individuals. This year’s exhibition will be presented at two separate venues, showing in the tunnel connecting City Hall and City Hall Annex located in downtown Houston from March 4 until March 28, 2011 and Texas Southern University from April 1 until April 30, 2011. The annual exhibition is in conjunction with Texas Southern University’s Autism Awareness Month Campaign that works to disseminate the latest information on Autism and other related disabilities through lectures and workshops while also raising awareness of Autistic Spectrum Disorders.

“This exhibition provides a wonderful platform and creative outlet for these very special students to share their unique creations, while at the same time developing long lasting partnerships and new teaching tools for schools and organizations working together to support special needs students and their families,” states Joseph Dixon, curator and program manger for Young Audiences of Houston Community Services. “Master Inspirations” is free, open to the public and will be shown in City Hall Annex tunnel located at 900 Bagby throughout the month of March and at the Cecilia Scott Lane Human Services and Consumer Sciences Building at Texas Southern University located at 3100 Cleburne in Houston, TX.

My sons have both recovered from autism and raw cow milk from healthy grass fed cows is a big part of their diet and we believe was a big part of their healing process. They were on the gfcf diet for over a year & were doing well but after we decided to add the raw dairy, they really made drastic improvement!!! You would not even know that once had the diagnosis! So, I am all for raw milk. We like raw milk from Jersey cows fed an all grass diet (hay in winter when grass is not growing here). Also, we prepare & cook all of our family’s foods with traditional methods (soaking/sprouting grains/beans/seeds/nuts) & eat all pastured (grass-fed) meats, poultry, organ meat, egg, cheese, yogurt, kefir, sour cream…and also make and drink many cultured/ lacto-fermented foods such as homemade saurkraut, homemade ketchup, etc…we also soak/sprout all gluten free grains to make muffins, pancakes, etc. if you havent already, check out Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon & www.westonaprice.org. Also check out radiantlifecatalog.com for some very healthful products such as colustrum to add to the raw milk unless you can get raw colustrum certain times of the year which is super healthful…the colustrum helps the beneficial bacteria in the raw milk implant in the gut, heal the gut and help the beneficial bacteria proliferate (multiply) in the gut to build up the good army…
