Commitment that shows
by Beth
Folks sure are keeping busy over there at Easter Seals Peoria & Bloomington-Normal & Decatur! We already published a post this month written by Erin Rogers (their Executive Vice President of Program Services) explaining their participation in a two-year, randomized, controlled, and blinded clinical trial on the effectiveness of The P.L.A.Y. Project. Now Erin has been quoted in an article in the East Peoria Times-Courier about something else: Easter Seals Peoria & Bloomington-Normal & Decatur’s new Intensive Autism Therapeutic Program. The center contains a wide variety of resources, including:
- visual supports,
- books,
- Boardmaker software program,
- DVDs,
- games,
- structured teaching kits,
- toys,
- computer software programs,
- internet access and other learning aids.
In the article, Erin said that Easter Seals Peoria & Bloomington-Normal & Decatur is “committed to continually develop outreach programs for families and professionals working with children with autism.” If you ask me, that commitment really shows.
