One in every 110 children will be diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder. When I first saw the number, I thought I had misread the information. But after thinking about it, I realized how many people I know that have relatives with the diagnosis. The community we live in has a need for services and supports for people with autism -- and, Ontario ARC is responding.
On April 16, the agency will hold the grand opening of
The Autism Center at Ontario ARC -- a regional clearinghouse for information, sharing, referral and services. The official ribbon cutting is at 1 p.m. with special guests, including: Congressman Tom Reed, State Senator Mike Nozzolio, Assembly Minority Leader Brian Kolb, and Assemblyman Sean Hanna.
We hope that you'll join us on April 16 for our big day. But, don't forget -- the festivities are ongoing during April 14 - 16. We'll be hosting a variety of signature presentations relating to autism spectrum disorders. Take a look at
our invitation. If you have any questions, please contact the center at
theautismcenter@ontarioarc.org or leave a comment here.
As always, thank you for your support!
