Walk Around the World, a 5K walk to benefit the Autism Treatment Center of America™ at locations throughout the US, UK, and Italy.

Seattle, WA (October 20, 2007)- A 5K walk in Green Lake Park on October 20, 2007 will be one of several walks in the Autism Treatment Center of America’s 5th annual Walk Around the World. Registration/check in at 8:30 am

The walk’s organizer, Dodge White of Preston, WA, is hoping to draw several hundred people to the cause.

Later this summer, thousands of people will gather at other locations in Scotland, Ireland, England, and Italy, as well as all across the United States to raise needed funds for children with autism. The prevalence of Autism Spectrum Disorder has skyrocketed in the last 5 years and currently as many as 1 in 150 individuals are diagnosed on the spectrum. Autism is a complex developmental disability that typically appears during the first 3 years of life. It may result in challenges in language, communication, emotion, cognition, behavior, fine and gross motor skills and social interaction.

You can help the Autism Treatment Center of America serve the increasing numbers of autistic children and their families by participating in the Walk Around the World at a location near you. 100% of the net proceeds will go to serve families seeking hopeful solutions to living with autism. As a nonprofit charitable organization, the Autism Treatment Center of America depends on philanthropic support to carry out its mission. The funds raised by the Walk Around the World will enable the Center to offer more scholarships and additional training for teachers and child facilitators.

Since 1983, The Autism Treatment Center of America has provided innovative training programs for parents and professionals caring for children challenged by Autism. The Son-Rise Program®, only offered at the Autism Treatment Center of America, teaches a comprehensive system of treatment and education that can enable children to dramatically improve in all areas of learning, development, communication and skill acquisition. It offers highly effective educational techniques, strategies and principles for designing, implementing and maintaining a stimulating, one-on-one, home-based, child-centered program.

Please walk with, or sponsor people who will set out to prove that “Recovery is an Option (Now)”.
