Our story:
"Henrik was diagnosed with Autism and a global developmental delay through Fraser at 23 months. Fraser was very supportive and caring. We were able to receive early intervention through parenting classes, speech and occupational therapy. These services helped my husband and me learn parenting strategies, different ways of communicating with Henrik and understanding. Our son has taught us to look at the world from a different view point. We have learned to be more patient, to improvise, to be even sillier and to just go with the flow. Early intervention is key along with education and support. Fraser has helped us so much over the years! Thank you for your support!"

1 in 44 children in Minnesota has an autism diagnosis, making it more prevalent than juvenile diabetes, childhood cancer and pediatric AIDS combined.  Thousands of Minnesota families each year must navigate the challenges of autism, which looks different for every individual.

Fortunately, evidence shows early intervention can result in dramatically positive outcomes. Given the right tools and support, people living with autism can make great strides at any point in their lives. As the Upper Midwest’s premier provider of autism services, Fraser can help individuals with autism and other special needs achieve success – whatever that means to them. 

I will be raising money and supporting Minnesota families impacted by autism at the Fraser Festival for Autism, presented by Central Roofing Company, on May 1. Please consider joining me and making a gift today! Each dollar moves us one step closer to realizing a future where all individuals have the equal opportunity to live, work, learn and play as members of our community.
