On
September 30, 2007, The Center for LifeSkills participated
in the Autism Speaks Walk Now for Autism at Jacobs Field in
Cleveland, Ohio. Autism
Speaks and Cure Autism Now are dedicated to increasing
awareness of the growing autism epidemic and to raising money to
fund scientists who are searching for a cure.
Cure Autism Now was
founded in 1995 by Jonathan Shestack and Portia Iversen, parents
of a child with autism. Autism Speaks was founded in
February 2005 by Suzanne and Bob Wright, grandparents of a child
with autism. Autism Speaks and Cure Autism Now (CAN)
recently announced plans to combine operations, bringing together
the two leading organizations dedicated to accelerating and
funding biomedical research into the causes, prevention,
treatments and cure for autism; to increasing awareness of the
nation’s fastest-growing developmental disorder; and to advocating
for the needs of affected families.
Together the organizations have
awarded autism research grants valued at more than $50 million. To
