Easter Seals Crossroads delivers important autism resource to pediatricians

The Easter Seals Crossroads team.
At this very moment Easter Seals Crossroads has six teams of professionals canvassing the Indianapolis area distributing Autism Resource Toolkits to over 150 pediatricians in recognition of Autism Awareness Month.
The toolkit is a product of the American Academy of Pediatrics and is an awesome resource for any doctor providing primary care. It includes information on everything from screening and diagnosis to handouts that doctors may give to their families. It even includes sample referral forms and letters that doctors can use to gain access to insurance payment for early intervention, educational, and therapeutic services for people with autism!
Through a grant from the Lilly Endowment we are able to distribute the Toolkits in an effort to support doctors in their care of families affected by autism. We want doctors to know that Easter Seals is ready to partner with them and the families they serve.
