The Arts Against Autism: An Autism Awareness Expo
The Geauga Lyric Theater Guild is sponsoring an Autism Awareness Expo brought to you by The Arts Against Autism. This information fair is meant to bring knowledge to the masses about this disorder.
Autism is the second largest mental disability in the United States, and sadly there is no known direct cause. Due to limited Governmental funding, we at The Arts Against Autism are committed to doing our part in raising funds and awareness.
This family-friendly event is open to the public.
A multitude of local talent and experienced professionals will join together to bring your family an exciting interactive day including crafts, auctions, raffles, music, magic, and much more!
Renowned Storyteller, Robin Echols-Cooper, will bring your children marvelous tales with songs and onstage interaction. Singer/Songwriter David Fox will be performing some well-known children's songs. Along with many other great faces, there will be Special Guest speakers to give you a firsthand look at what dealing with Autism is like, both in the educational standpoint as well as in the home.
