Join me in my efforts to support Autism Speaks!
I am raising funds to support a cause that is important to me while accomplishing a personal goal.
As a mother of a child with autism, my family and I have been able to navigate this disorder with the help of schools who provide IEP educational services and extracurricular classes that help acclimate to our son's needs.
In 2 1/2 short years since my son was diagnosed with autism, he has thrived with the help of his teachers and aides who have helped him with occupational therapy, speech and other necessary mobile exercises to help him succeed. During Kindergarten, he received the Most Improved Award at his school assembly and during his current year of 1st Grade, he received the Citizenship Award for being a role model to his peers! We are so proud of him and we can't think his educators enough for all their help!
There are many people like my son and so many others with different ranges of autism. Any amount helps to provide assistance and solutions to those who are affected.

Autism, or autism spectrum disorder, refers to a range of conditions characterized by challenges with social skills, repetitive behaviors, speech and nonverbal communication.
Autism Speaks is dedicated to promoting solutions, across the spectrum and throughout the lifespan, for the needs of individuals with autism and their families through advocacy and support; increasing understanding and acceptance of autism spectrum disorder; and advancing research into causes and better interventions for autism spectrum disorder and related conditions. They empower people with autism and their families with resources, online tools and information covering the life span.
Autism Speaks enhances lives today and is accelerating a spectrum of solutions for tomorrow.
Thank you for helping me reach my goal. Your support is greatly appreciated!
