As a parent with a child with autism, Katrina Blanchard did something unique to care for her.
She opened a corn maze and harvest festival.
"Our mission is to look at the person not the disability," Blanchard said.
Wolf Oak Acres in Oneida features corn cannons, pig races, gem stone mining, a cow train, and pedal karts.
Each activity caters to a different sense, Blanchard said.
The Autism Society of America (ASA) said physical and sensory therapy, like the one Blanchard uses, are forms of treatment for autism.
ASA also said it is better to avoid large crowds and loud noises with autistic children.
But for Blanchard, it is just what the doctor ordered.
