Spotlight: Jeremy Swartz

Jeremy Swartz, a musician with autism from South Hadley, Massachusetts, was a contestant on Wheel of Fortune last Thursday. After a strong start, he didn't make it to the bonus round, but he told host Pat Sajak being on Wheel was a dream come true. Swartz, age 26, is a singer and tambourine/shaker player for the Berkshire Hills Music Academy performance troupe, a band of young adults with disabilities. As part of a disability awareness program, troupe members talk to audiences about their intellectual handicaps. Swartz can also tap dance and has acted in local plays. To learn more about him, go to http://www.jeremyswartzmusic.com/home.html.

Note: The 21st Annual Family Cafe for people with disabilities and their loved ones will take place June 7-9 at the Hyatt Regency Orlando. To see the complete program for this free event, go to https://www.familycafe.net/images/stories/pdffiles/21st_FamCafe_2019_WEB_compressed.pdf.
