About Us

John, Noah and Mark hanging out

We are the Walter Brothers and it is our special abilities such as Autism and Down Syndrome that give us the super powers to help us make crafts for our community. We are learning new skills everyday thanks to DANA Workshop LLC. And now, here's a little bit about everyone in our family...

This is our sister, Molly. She is a graduate from UW-Oshkosh and she's about to be the best Early Childhood and Special Education Teacher of superheroes, just like us. Molly is the best sister we could ever ask for because even though we're all older than her, she cares for us just like a big sister does and we love her a lot.

Hi, I'm Mark. People say I have Autism, non-verbal speech-apraxia, OCD, ADHD, sensory integration disorder, seizure & sleep disorder, and lots of allergies but honestly I love learning about animals, listening to music, and climbing anything I can! I really hope you like lots of the button or bead or wood projects because I really like making them.

Hello, my name is Noah. Just like my (younger) twin brother, people say I have Autism, non-verbal speech-apraxia, OCD, ADHD, sensory integration disorder, and a sleep disorder. But I really like learning things like math and reading. Plus, candy crush is the best! By the way, if you get something that had to be sewn or stitched together, I totally did that.

 

What's up! I'm John. I'm the oldest ☺︎ I was born with stuff like Down Syndrome, a bi-lateral cleft lip and palate (which I totally got repaired), hypothyroidism, and Celiac disease. My favorite things in the world are playing basketball, hanging out with my friends, giving the world's greatest hugs, and the Badgers and the Packers. Oh, and if you buy one of our crafts that has paint on it, you're welcome 'cuz that was me.

That's our mom and dad (when they were younger than we are now). People call them Shannon and Aran. Our mom is really smart 'cuz she has a bunch of degrees but we know the truth that the real reason she's so smart is because we have taught her so much. Our dad works at a church as a priest but honestly we just love it when he plays games with us and we get to be ourselves around him because that teaches him about what real love looks like. We love our mom and our dad a lot.

This is Becky. She hangs out with us almost every day, helping us and teaching us. She's really good at her job because she's been teaching superheroes like us for longer than we've been alive, which pretty much makes her OUR superhero!

This is our OLD workshop. It was our very first place and it was amazing. We started working there in 2018 and believe it or not, we made stuff and sold them right in the same room. But then, in April of 2025, we started working at our NEW workshop!

This is our amazing NEW workshop AND store and we LOVE it! On one side is the workshop, and on the other side is the store. We hope you'll come visit us in person on the days that we're open! You can find us at 617 Knapp Street in Oshkosh, WI

And here's a bit more about us! (our sister made these, aren't they great?)
