Poughkeepsie Karate Program Embraces Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month

Welcome Hudson Valley! This is Conor Walsh, host of In Touch, Townsquare Media of the Hudson Valley’s Award-Winning Public Affairs and Issues program.  

Chief Master Gerald Dunn from Karate 4 Excellence returns to promote Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month, and the upcoming Autism Walk in Baird Park on April 27th. Gerald and I go into why martial arts has been scientifically proven to be one of the best and most productive outlets for those with special needs. 

We invite you to join us and listen to a previously recorded conversation between Gerald and myself here on In Touch.
