Austin Autism Community Comes Together for "An Evening of Hope" Hosted by
Center for Autism and Related Disorders (CARD)
The Center for Autism and Related Disorders (CARD) is bringing the Austin autism community together for "An Evening of Hope" at the Hyatt Regency Austin on Saturday, September 20, 2008, starting at 6pm.
/Movies and Video PR News/ - TARZANA, CA, September 19, 2008 - An "Evening of Hope" will bring together community leaders, government agencies, parents, support groups, non profit agencies, and practitioners who are all working to obtain more funds and resources for services for children with autism.
Joining the long list of attendees: Recovered: Journeys through the Autism Spectrum and Back director Dr. Doreen Granpeesheh, and Recovered film stars Nick and Janna.
Recovered: Journeys Through the Autism Spectrum and Back - a film by Dr. Doreen Granpeesheh and Michele Jaquis will be shown Saturday night. The documentary chronicles the children's (Nick, Janna, Brett, and Ruffin) personal journeys - starting with their diagnosis, their ABA therapy, and ending in their complete recovery from autism.
Dr. Doreen Granpeesheh, one of the nation's leading autism researchers and psychologists says, "Many people don't believe it is possible to recover from Autism. Our intention in providing proof of Recovery and in identifying a course of action toward that goal is only to bring hope and determination to those families who feel it is in the best interest of their child to learn new skills in order to better access the rewards of life."
