Today, 1 out of every 110 babies born is diagnosed with autism. It has been proven that children with autism benefit greatly from one-to-one instruction enabling them to learn new skills and maintain skills acquisition. In 2002, recognizing the need for a more intensive education with a smaller staff to student ratio, AHRC Nassau redirected its educational programming for children with autism. The Children's Education Center's Autism Program now serves a total of 48 preschool and school age children in both Sea Cliff and Brookville.

A group of dedicated parents and friends called Friends of Nassau AHRC Autism Program has come together with a mission to raise the necessary funds to achieve and maintain a level of excellence to ensure that our children will reach their fullest potential. The Autism Reach for the Stars dinner will be held on Wednesday, November 17 at the Inn at New Hyde Park.

 For information on the Reach for the Stars dinner or sponsorship opportunities, please call 516-626-1000 ext.1138.  Email mmcnamara@ahrc.org for more information about this event.
