This September, advocacy and information have kept our team busy.
Jacquie & Adriana have done a number of interviews for TV and radio on related to Tylenol/Autism, Roberson and the Death Penalty (including a virtual education event cohosted by ASA & the Innocence Project), as well as the tragic event in El Paso where a teen eloped from school and was hit and killed on a freeway several miles away.
We held a virtual Disaster Preparedness education event in Spanish with the September 26th Project, which was created to honor Autism activist Feda Almaliti & her son, Mu, who passed away in a house fire in California, and works to ensure families are prepared in the event of an emergency
We also supported Autism Society of America’s Swim Safety Program and provided families with resources and sensory kits! Thank you so much to Dell Children’s for funding this important, life saving program.
Jacquie also worked with ACC Global Learning Students to help them understand Autism and how they can be a positive impact in their community. ACC Global Learning Students will be having a fundraising event for AST on October 1st at BJ’s Restaurant & Brewhouse in Austin!
