In recognition of National Autism Awareness Month this April, The Help Group is once again launching its annual “Learn the Facts and Early Signs of Autism” campaign. The campaign provides the public with up-to-date information and promotes awareness and a greater understanding of autism.
The “Learn the Facts” brochure contains important facts and a list of the early signs, some of which may be recognizable within the first year of life. Research has shown that early identification and intensive early intervention can result in significant positive outcomes for many children with autism.
The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf® will make The Help Group’s “Learn the Facts” brochures available in participating company-owned locations in California and Arizona, as well as on its in-store television displays and social media outlets.
Gelson’s will also host an autism awareness and fund-raising campaign at its 18 Southern California locations. Copies of the “Learn the Facts” brochures will be available in stores, and customers will have the opportunity to make donations to The Help Group.
“We are most grateful to The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf® and to Gelson’s for joining us in this annual outreach effort. Their long-standing commitment to sharing autism information touches the lives of so many families.” said Dr. Barbara Firestone.
The brochures are also available online here in both English and Spanish, and additional copies can be requested by calling 877.943.5747 or by emailing info@thehelpgroup.org.
