Chinese Gardens – Mr B’s Classroom

It is always fun to create a new Ability Guidebook for my home city of Portland, Oregon! The Lan Su Chinese Garden in downtown Portland is one of the absolute gems of the city!! This book will support autistic people visiting the garden! It makes a great field trip guide for younger grades as well.
