Flame keeps the fire burning

FLAME, a group from upstate New York made up of 10 people with developmental/physical disabilities, including autism, Down syndrome, and blindness, is capturing the world’s attention but their message remains the same.  The band from Lexington Center, Fulton County Chapter, NYSARC, Inc., wants to change the world through music.  They are a phenomenon that inspires people and changes the way the general public view people with disabilities.  People of all ages and backgrounds connect with this special rock band, especially those who have a disability.  Parents are often overcome with emotion watching FLAME, seeing that it’s possible to have their child achieve great things and, even more importantly, have a fun, fulfilling life.
