Autism Awareness Month
Draw the Line on Drowning
Did you know that drowning is the No. 1 cause of death for children with autism? As the prevalence of autism reaches unprecedented levels, it’s never been more important to understand the needs of those impacted by autism and ensure that essential services are available. During April 2024 which is Autism Awareness Month, we're working to reduce the risk of drowning.
