At Easter Seals, every day is World Autism Day!
by Patricia
The United Nations declared April 2nd World Autism Awareness Day back in 2007, and now, six years later, Easter Seals is embracing UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon’s message for World Autism Awareness Day 2013:
World Autism Awareness Day has succeeded in calling greater international attention to autism and other developmental disorders that affect millions of people worldwide. The current session of the United Nations General Assembly has adopted a new resolution on this issue, demonstrating a commitment to help affected individuals and families. The resolution encourages Member States and others to strengthen research and expand their delivery of health, education, employment and other essential services.
There continues to be a growing demand for services and supports to ensure individuals with autism experience a high quality life. Having high profile organizations such as the United Nations taking an interest in autism increases visibility to the needs of those living with autism.
April 2nd is an important day for autism, and Easter Seals will continue to send the message every day that individuals with autism deserve to experience life to the fullest.
