Last week, I accompanied our senior associate executive director Noreen Quinn and applied behavioral specialist Mike Kephart to WXXI's studios in Rochester. We were there to promote the opening our of autism center and the new, wide range of resources available to families, educators, and the community.
Our visit actually coincides with the part 5 of PBS NewsHour's Autism Now series. Robert MacNeil returns to PBS to explore the rapid increase of autism diagnoses. MacNeil shares his own personal story with autism -- his grandson Nick was diagnosed at 15 months old.
Part I, II and III are available to view online at
PBS NewsHour. They are also being aired locally on WXXI Channel 21.
And, just in case you are wondering -- Noreen and Mike will appear on this Friday's episode of Need To Know Rochester at 8:30. Thanks to Steve Dawe for inviting us up to the station and bringing attention to this important issue.
