| Event Info: |
In response to the growing number of children diagnosed with Autism, Variety has established a Family Resource Center for this population. This center aims to provide early intervention, especially during the time immediately following diagnosis. It provides direct services such as seminars and workshops for families and caregivers of children with Autism and Autism Spectrum Disorders. It also provides peer counseling for siblings in order to best address the needs of entire families.
Variety will hold its Fourth Annual Autism Walk in the Plymouth Meeting Mall on March 29th to benefit Variety’s Family Resource Center. Families, schools, companies, and individuals will join together to raise money for this center which serves children with Autism NOW through providing early intervention and support!
“We are happy to support the efforts of Variety – The Children’s Charity, in developing a regional Resource Center for children and their families with autism and similar disorders. The services provided by the Resource Center will benefit many of our patients and their families as they seek additional information and support for their child.”
Susan E. Levy, M.D. Director, Regional Autism Center The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia
This event also has the support of the Autism Society of America, who is proud to support Variety’s Fourth Annual Autism Walk. |
