Autism awareness
By earlr
In February of 2007, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued an autism prevalence report stating that autism is on the rise. It now occurs in one in every 150 American children, and almost 1 in 94 boys. Recognizing the need for strategies to help parents of children with autism, Fauquier Health System is involved in local projects that offer practical help for caregivers.
The Fauquier Autism Resource Group will sponsor “Defeat Autism Now! Approach and Related Therapies Presentations” from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, March 29, 2008. Fauquier Hospital will host the presentations in Sycamore Rooms A and B.
Three practitioners will discuss their experiences in treating autism. Further information is available by contacting Mary Ludwig at mludwig@interrupt9.com.
