“Buddy Play”
To promote natural interaction and learning between kids with special needs and their typical peers.
"Take-offs, Landings, and Treasures!"
Join us at the Buchanan Airfield in Concord for a fun time watching the aircraft! We'll be at the public viewing plaza right below the control tower. There are bleachers to watch the planes take off and land, as well a place to each lunch. Please pack a lunch for yourselves and be ready for a fun "secret" activity to follow! The area is large and fenced in for some of our "runners!"
Date: Thursday July 7, 2011
Time: 11 to 1pm (revised time)
Place: Public Viewing Plaza at Buchanan Airport
RSVP: Berns1971@yahoo.com or 925-788-6846 by Wed. 7-6-11
Dues: $2 per child participating
You must turn off of Concord Avenue onto John Glenn Drive to reach the Viewing Plaza. Use this address for looking up directions: 145 John Glenn Dr, Concord, CA94520
Go all the way to the end of the road, passing Hertz Car Rental. At that point you will see the Buchanan Airport Control Tower.
Special Notes:
There are NO bathrooms at the Viewing Plaza, so please make sure you "go" beforehand. The nearest restrooms would be a short drive to Taco Bell or Trader Joe's.
There is shade over picnic tables, but otherwise a very sunny area. So...wear sunscreen!
For any of the older kids attending, bring a hand-held gps device if you have one. We will have them use that tool to find some of the "treasures."
If your child has any toy planes, bring them along for the pretend "runway."
Don't forget to pack a lunch!
Please RSVP to participate. Supplies and "props" are planned based on number of children attending.
If you RSVP but can not make it, please let me know as soon as possible in case other families want to participate. Thanks!
See you soon,
Bernadette Fatehi

Got Wrapping Paper?
Let's make some together! We'll have paper, paints, stencils, and stamps to craft our special wrapping paper to use for holiday gifts. You may also bring plain gift boxes from home if you'd like to decorate those. (Shirt boxes work well for this)
There will be an Occupational Therapist at this Buddy Play, to help facilitate our activity, and consult on ways to improve the fine and adaptive motor skills of our kids.
Of course, we must also decorate cookies. Because....we have to stick with the traditional Buddy Play holiday tradition. Sorry about the sugar consumption! :-)

Buddy Play
Buddy Play promotes natural interaction and learning between kids with special needs and their typical peers. Seeing the need for more social, inclusion opportunities for kids with special needs and their typically developing peers, Bernadette Fatehi started Buddy Play in 2007.
It is natural for children to learn from each other. Younger siblings have always aspired to do and be like their older brothers or sisters. Likewise, when any child is with a group of peers, he or she will have an opportunity to mimic or practice behaviors and skills that they will use throughout life. It is my opinion that any time children with special needs and “typical” children come together as one group, both sides can learn a great deal from each other! ~Bernadette Fatehi
