The University of Rochester is hosting an event to raise awareness of autism and treatment as part of National Autism Awareness Month. The awareness event is Monday, April 8, from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Saunders Building at the U of R Medical Center on Crittenden Boulevard. The event aims to inform families affected by autism about the kinds of support available to them. Golisano Children's Hospital at the University of Rochester offers services and research in the study of autism.
Autism Speaks is the world's largest autism advocacy group, and there will be representatives at Monday's event. Autism Speaks provides some of the funds that Golisano Children's hospital uses in its research and support.
Attendees are encouraged to wear blue in support of National Autism Awareness Month.
