It's time for our next MMAA event at our shop! ππ I (Julia, Marlon's wifeπ) am a board member for MMAA Mid Michigan Autism Association and my husband Marlon is the mechanic, and the event is at our shop Golden Rule Mechanic - Marlon Olivas in Grand Ledge. Two of our own three kids are autistic, so we feel very comfortable teaching this community π
π FREE thanks to MMAA sponsoring the event!
π Sensory friendly, calm, patient learning environment with individual 30 min session time slots to sign up for!
π Event is specifically for neurodivergent kids, families, and adults to help anyone with anxiety, adhd, autism, sensory issues, or anyone with a disability or differently abled! Any age! (No neurodivergent "diagnosis" needed! We just want to support and help this community that may get overwhelmed or too intimidated at a typical dealership, mechanic shop, or to buy a car or get their car repaired, or learn about their car.)
We structured the event differently this time than in the past:
βοΈ Have a preschool- high school age kid that really likes engines, mechanical things, or likes to see how things work? Would they enjoy seeing a real mechanic and auto repair shop, see an engine, and have the opportunity to learn and ask questions?
π Want to learn how to change a tire? Prefer to learn and practice on your own car?
β½οΈ Want to learn how to check the fluids on your car? Prefer to learn on your own car?
βοΈHave any specific question about your car, want the mechanic to look at something briefly for you like a check engine light, low tire pressure, does my car have a...?, how does my car...?, or any other question about buying a car or maintaining a car?
β
οΈThat's why we are doing this event!
