Autism Acceptance Month
Autism, or Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), is a developmental disability caused by differences in the brain. The ways people with autism learn, think and problem-solve can range from highly skilled to severely challenged. Some people with ASD might need a lot of support in their lives, while others might not. Same thing with communication, some might be able to hold conversations while others may need to be prompted with choices or yes/no questions to keep them engaged.

National Infant Immunization Week (4/22-4/29)
This week is meant to highlight the importance of protecting children two years and younger from vaccine-preventable diseases (VPDs). Families need to stay on track of their children’s vaccinations in order to save millions of lives from fatal diseases.
Why Immunization?
- Prevent child disease and premature deaths.
- Spend less time sick.
- Strengthen the immune system.
- More cost-effective than treating illness once contracted.
- Immunizations are often necessary for school attendance, college admission or traveling abroad.
