Toyota of Naperville to start charity drive for Autism foundation
Every test drive earns Turning Pointe Autism Foundation $20
NAPERVILLE, Ill., March 28, 2013 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- A recent government study has stated that as many as 1 in 88 children are affected by Autism. That number grows to 1 in 50 depending on how the child is assessed and diagnosed. Autism is a developmental disability that affects the way a child conducts social interactions with family, friends and teachers as well as communication abilities and cognitive functions. As a result children with Autism need a highly specialized education curriculum in an adaptive environment that is suited to their individual needs. Often times these families and their children with Autism are put in a very difficult predicament and are left feeling isolated.
