As many as 1 in 110 people in the United States of America has autism. Just in time for Disability Awareness Month in Indiana, the Indiana chapter of the Autism Society of America and Easter Seals Crossroads are hosting the 4th Annual Autism Expo on March 26, 2011 at The Fountains Banquet and Conference Center in Carmel.
Each year, The Indiana Autism Expo plans and hosts this event for families, professionals and other supporters involved in the autism community. Presentations and exhibits will focus on people of all ages with autism and enhancing the lives of these individuals and their families. It is a terrific opportunity to spread awareness and garner support for a disability that affects so many lives worldwide.
Autism is a developmental disorder that appears in the first three years of life. It affects the brain’s normal development of social and communication skills. While there is some controversy surrounding the cause, diagnosis, and treatment of the disorder, there is no denying that there is a need for further study, awareness, and support for individuals with autism and their families. Events such as the 2011 Autism Expo are an integral component in the pursuit of autism education, awareness, and action.
The 2011 Autism Expo is a free event that is open to the public. To register for the March 26, 2011 expo, click here! For further information visit the Autism Society of America’s Indiana Chapter page.
