Support Families Day to Day Posted By: janneane7

My wonderful son Andrew, his Dad and a couple of Andy's mentors will be walk for Autism on Spetemebr 20th.
I am the chairperson for the Hearts & Hands Walk for Autism and Family Fun Day and I know that although research is important, it is also VITAL that families get the help they need RIGHT NOW as they deal with the challenges Autism brings to their everyday lives.
I know this because I have lived with, and watched my son deal with Autism for 20 years now. I also understand the challenges because I talk to dozens of parents each week in my roles as Resource Specialist and as the trainer for Autism 101 and Understanding Sensory and Behavior Challenges.
SO I am proud to say that ALL THE MONEY RAISED GOES TO PROVIDE FREE SERVICES AND SUPPORTS FOR FAMILIES!!

I am so glad to see you are doing this. I have just started working with families in my area, full time, with no pay and the first goal is to create a means for helping them TODAY get services the need NOW! I agree research is fine..but we have people who can't pay for gas let alone go to get help..they need real answers and real help and programs for today. Keep up the good work and let us know how it goes!! cheryl :)
