SUMMERVILLE, S.C. (WCSC) - Downtown Summerville was painted with bustling crowds, food trucks, vendors, live music and local artists on Sunday for the final day of the Flowertown Arts and Crafts Festival.

Flowertown was in full bloom this past weekend as the three-day festival planted smiles, sprouted community connections, and blossomed with creativity, everything the non-profit Beyond BASIC Lifeskills strives to cultivate.

Joanna Goncalez is a volunteer for Beyond BASIC and said the organization is breaking barriers through art.

“Most of those individuals that have an intellectual disability, they will age out. And so, there was this cliff of nothingness, as we like to call it, where there aren’t enough resources available for those that are not going off to college. And so, we decided that we needed to make that bridge of a gap for the community,” she said.

Goncalez said Beyond BASIC empowers its teammates to thrive independently through skill-building, nurturing creativity, and encouraging community engagement, which is why she said pottery fits so well with their mission.

“So, our teammates, through Beyond Handcrafted, our social enterprise, create this lovely pottery with Norah, who is our ceramics manager. And she has created these systems in place to make them adaptable for our teammates so that they can create this pottery with us, and it continues to support our programming,” she said.

Each unique piece of pottery on display at their Flowertown booth was handcrafted by Beyond BASIC teammates.

“I think one of the ways that we continue to make consistently beautiful work is through some really cool adaptive features of the pottery. So, we work together with our teammates a lot to see what works, what doesn’t work. A lot of mobility issues and things like that can hinder how we make,” Norah Clements, Ceramics Manager for Beyond Handcrafted, said.

Both Clements and Goncalez said Beyond BASIC is breaking barriers and shifting perceptions, one partnership, one conversation, and one piece of pottery at a time.

“So, in partnership with the YMCA, just being here with other friends, it opens up a lot of doors. And that conversation that we can have with the general public that our teammates are able; an intellectual disability doesn’t set them back or set them in a place where it puts them in a different box. We’re all the same,” Goncalez said.

She said the non-profit is redefining independence for adults with intellectual disabilities through creativity, connection, and inclusion, proving that everyone is capable.

“Our teammates get to go to the YMCA, make friends, but they also allow us to volunteer, which helps us proactively be in tune with the community and practice those job skills, but also create inclusion in the City of Summerville. It’s our mission; Inclusion is what we do,” Goncalez said.

Proceeds from Flowertown will go towards YMCA programs that promote youth development, healthy living and social responsibility.

We Rock the Spectrum bills itself as a space for kids with autism, special needs, and neurotypical development. (WCIV)

SUMMERVILLE, S.C. (WCIV) — A sensory-friendly gym for children and teens will open in Summerville this weekend.

We Rock the Spectrum bills itself as a space for kids with autism, special needs, and neurotypical development.

Franchise owners Ray and Mandi Plesscher said they "fell in love" with the idea of opening their own gym after visiting a location in Louisiana with their son, Walker, who has autism.

"I walk in and on the wall, the first thing it says is the catchphrase: 'Finally a place where I never have to say I’m sorry' and it impacted me, profoundly, just as a parent,” Ray said.

Gym equipment includes a zip slider, and swings with textures like carpet and bubbles.

"There are things that kids with autism like," Ray said. "For instance, our son likes trucks, but he wants to turn them over and play with the wheels. There’s a rolling table with rollers on it that kids can get on and feel that on their body."

The gym will also feature therapy rooms, a teen room, a calming room, and eventually social groups.

“It’s a from-the-heart passion project,” Mandi said.

We Rock the Spectrum will open on Saturday, March 29 at 10 a.m. It is located at 10359 US-78 in Summerville. Admission is $17 per child.
