Fraser has partnered with Governor Tim Pawlenty to proclaim April as Autism Awareness Month in the State of Minnesota. The state proclamation coincides with a national effort to gain visibility for our country's fastest growing developmental disability. Autism spectrum disorders now affect 1 in 150 children. Autism is more common than juvenile diabetes, childhood cancer and AIDS combined. It is our hope that increased awareness will lead to early diagnosis and treatment for more children. Learn more about Fraser autism awareness month activities.

 

Day-long Autism Seminar
Fraser experts will share diagnostic information and intervention strategies for those working with or parenting children on the autism spectrum. Educators, mental health practitioners, direct service providers and families are encouraged to attend to build your knowledge base and skills related to autism. A variety of breakout sessions are offered, including Evaluation of Infants and Toddlers, "Warning Signs" for School-age and Adolescent Children, Sensory Integration, and Potty Training.
