Autism is defined as ‘a
complex, developmental disability that typically appears during the first three
years of life, and impacts a person’s ability to communicate and interact with
others.’ It is considered a spectrum
disorder, meaning that it affects individuals in different ways and to varying
degrees. With the prevalence of autism
in the United States, healthcare organizations are stepping up to offer support
to families of children living with the disorder.
On Tuesday, February 14, Reverend Jeff Fairchild will
lead a support group designed to assist families of children who live with
autism. The meeting will take place at
Mile Bluff Medical Center in Mauston, beginning at 7 pm. During the meeting there will be
opportunities for participants to network with others who are dealing with situations
similar to theirs, and discussion time to learn from others about recognizing
and preparing for challenges that may arise.
Attend the
upcoming autism support group at Mile Bluff Medical Center on Tuesday, February
14 at 7 pm, and learn what you can do to help that special child in your
life. For more information, call
608-847-1285.
