It has been my pleasure to serve on the board of Fraser for the past two years. The good work being done at Fraser is so important to many families. Hearing the diagnosis of “autism” begins the journey to see and learn about life from a unique perspective. According to the Centers for Disease Control, 1 in 68 children have autism. Thousands of Minnesota families are faced with the challenges of navitaging an autism diagnosis each year.

Fortunately, evidence shows early intervention can result in dramatically positive outcomes. Given the right tools and support, those living with autism can make great strides at any point in their lives. As the largest and most experienced provider of autism services in Minnesota, Fraser can help those with autism and other special needs reach for a bright future.

This April, I will be raising support and awareness for Minnesota families affected by autism at the Fraser Walk for Autism. Your support will help provide life-changing services to thousands of Minnesota families.

Please consider making a gift today! Each dollar makes us one step closer to creating bright futures for children and adults with special needs.
