The Westchester County Department of Community Mental Health has once again teamed up with Navigating the Spectrum, a nonprofit agency that offers an educational forum for families of children with Autism Spectrum Disorders, to sponsor the Autism Information Fair, Sunday April 22, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the County Center in White Plains. The event is free and open to the public.
"This is an important annual event, where families seeking information about autism can find out about services and support in Westchester," said County Executive Robert P. Astorino.
In addition to the various information booths, this year's event will include a panel discussion at 1:30 p.m. focusing on proposed changes in the definition of the autism spectrum diagnosis.
A free, supervised children's play room will be available if parents want to speak to providers or attend the panel discussion without their children. For more information please call the community mental health department at 995-5220.
