The Autism Society of Greater New Orleans is thrilled to announce that we are the new home of the Prism Project of Greater New Orleans. Now a collaborative effort between ASGNO and Love’s Music Therapy, PRISM has been closing a gap in Greater New Orleans by providing performance-arts recreations services, offering inclusive and specialized accommodated program for youth with disabilities and neurotypical youth since 2013. ASGNO is thrilled to be part of the rich and long history of the PRISM project both as its new home, and as a past partner and funder of the program for many years.
What is Prism Project of Greater New Orleans and How can I support the program?
A music-theater program for children with disabilities and their neurotypical peers, the program functions as one of few extra-curricular performance arts programs available to many of its participants. PRISM fosters an inclusive and highly accommodating environment which has been the starting point for many identity-affirming relationships for performers and their families. Modeled after a program at Ball State University of the same name, PRISM boasts many unique features and partnerships that make it reflective of New Orleans, accommodating to performers, and a meaningful opportunity for college-age volunteers.
