Your “one last word” on your website about summer camp was pointed out to me by a family member. Very disappointed in your lack of inclusivity and ignorance. My young cousin has autism and is very excited about sewing and has been thriving in sewing lessons. It is up to the parent to decide what is “too much” and if they can handle it. Every child with learning disabilities is completely different. Not every one needs individual attention. Not every one is disruptive or demanding. Making an assumption about any of this is discriminatory and ignorant. If there was an issue in class and then it was brought to the attention of the parent and there was a discussion on how to proceed from there, that would be entirely different.

Read moreI had high hopes for learning sewing through Joann's classes, but unfortunately, the experience fell short. Instead of receiving sewing lessons, we focused solely on a skirt project that wasn't completed after five classes. It's disappointing that I'm now being asked to purchase two more classes to finish it, costing over $200 in total. When I started, I was told there would be more variety in what we'd create. While Joann is a great person, this wasn't the sewing experience I had hoped for. Now I'm left with an unfinished $25 skirt due to the additional costs...
