Autism is treatable
by Patricia
You already know that April is Autism Awareness Month. You probably also know that this Saturday, April 2, is World Autism Awareness Day. But here’s something you might not be aware of: Easter Seals is one of the leading non-profit providers of services for children and adults with autism.
Today, one in 110 children are diagnosed with autism. Getting the right support at the earliest stage in life can help a child gain the skills he or she needs to be successful, and there’s an increasing need for funding to support these services. Easter Seals serves more than 16,000 individuals with autism, and we have seen firsthand that people with autism, at any age, can make significant progress.
Visit our Web site to learn more about autism and find helpful Easter Seals resources, like our Autism State Profiles, a state-by-state report of autism services.
Autism is a baffling, life-long disorder. While there is no known cause or cure, or a known singular effective treatment, we at Easter Seals want to make sure you are aware of one important fact: autism is treatable.
