Residents Invited To Autism Awareness Event
Town To Host 16th Awareness Event Benefiting
Advantage Care Health Center For Autism & Developmental Disabilities
Oyster Bay Town
Supervisor Joseph Saladino and Councilman Lou Imbroto invite residents to participate in the Town of Oyster Bay’s 16th Annual Autism Awareness Event, being held this year at Bethpage Community Park on Saturday, September 28th. The event benefits Advantage Care Health Center’s Fay J. Lindner Center for Autism & Developmental Disabilities, one of the leading treatment and outpatient assessment programs for people with Autism Spectrum Disorders.
“Autism can present itself in a wide variety of ways, typically characterized by challenges with social skills, repetitive behaviors, speech and nonverbal communication, as well
as unique strengths and differences,” Supervisor Saladino stated. “It is estimated that the condition affects 1 in every 36 children in the United States, and early diagnosis leads to an increased ability to help through intervention services.”
This year’s Autism Awareness event features a walk, skating, fun activities, crafts, facepainting, DJ/ dancing, refreshments and anti-bullying information.
Registration for the event begins at 10 a.m., with the walk commencing at 11 a.m. The registration fee is $10 for individuals and $25 for families. All registrants will receive entrance to the post-walk tailgate party with refreshments and free T-shirts while supplies last.
Councilman Imbroto added, “We are pleased to once again host this event to benefit the Fay J. Linder Center for Autism and Developmental Disabilities, which offers the highest quality, state-of-the-art clinical services to people with Autism Spectrum disorders. From hosting social skill development groups to assisting with medicine management and educating community organizations, Advantage Care Health Center does truly outstanding work in our Town.”
