Did you know that every 20 minutes another child is diagnosed with autism?

Easter Seals is the leading non-profit provider of services for individuals with autism. Every child deserves the chance to strive, but unfortunately what are normal everyday, opportunities for some children can be a difficult challenge for others. It is important for parents to know that while autism is a life-long disorder, it is treatable.

Through personalized interventions, therapy, and support services, children and adults with autism are capable of making significant progress. It is important to know and understand that early intervention is the key. Providing help and hope for families living with autism, Easter Seals created the Act for Autism Campaign. Since its launch, Act for Autism is helping to turn parents' dreams for their child's future from fearful to hopeful.

Easter Seals is encouraging all readers of this blog to educate, advocate, donate and participate - all to support families living with autism.
