Our 2016 training event where we delivered the devices and trained our parents and service providers.
Autism is a developmental disorder that affects the brain’s normal development of social and communication skills. The prevalence of Autism is properly classified as an epidemic, and a recent study revealed 1 in 56 children have some form of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The lifetime incremental cost of education, treatment and care of a person with autism is $3.2 million. Clearly this is a tremendous additional cost on families and on communities...unless we prioritize finding innovative approaches to working with children with Autism.
In our inaugural year, The Fox Family Ride for Autism was able to raise over $12,000. which allowed us to help each child with Autism at Parkway Local Schools.
In our 2nd year we're happy to announce that we brought in over $20,000 Which went a long way to helping out other families through out Mercer County and the Surrounding Area. Last year, nearly 100 individuals with autism were granted an iPad® by iTaalk nationally, and over 1,000 service providers and parents were provided with the necessary education on using an iPad® with individuals with special needs.
In our 3rd year we raised nearly $20,000. We have helped nearly 70 individuals with autism in the Mercer County and the Surrounding Areas.
In the 4th year, we had 250 riders and passengers participate in the poker run. We have helped over 150 students with autism in our community. We are so proud of everything our community has done and we hope to continue to grow.
