Thanks to a generous grant from Devon Energy young children with autism will benefit from STEM activities in the Oklahoma Autism Center’s Early Foundations program. STEM play prepares children with autism to enter the pre-K classroom with peers by enhancing concentration and focus, improving communication and interaction skills, providing structure and routine, and boosting creativity and imagination. Devon Energy funds will provide supplies and equipment to develop sensory-based, hands-on activities to introduce basic STEM concepts like colors, shapes, and patterns. Thank you Devon Energy for partnering to improve the lives of Oklahoma kids!
