Brent Woodall Foundation

[Guest guest]

Hello. (Sorry for cross posting)

I had the privilege of meeting several people from The Brent Woodall

Foundation yesterday. I enlisted their help on behalf of my daughters who

are both mildly affected by autism. I wanted to tell everyone what an

amazing group of people they are! Especially Pierce Woodall, the

founder. She is a veritable wealth of information. Please visit their

website, if you haven't already - www.woodallkids.org. I would encourage

each of you with children between the ages of 18 months and 6 years to

contact them about their parent training program. They come in and do an

educational assessment on your child and develop appropriate educational

goals and a behavior intervention plan (if one is needed). Then, they train

you to implement effective strategies for teaching and managing problem

behavior.

I understand the need for funding to prevent autism and find a cure, but, as

the parent of two children who have autism now, I think it is important that

we also support causes that directly improve the lives of families and

children already affected. In order for them to continue to offer free

consulting to families in need, it is essential that the community support

The Brent Woodall Foundation financially. They are having a Walkabout

fundraiser Saturday, September 10th in Coppell, Texas. Registration begins

at 8 am for all participants. A minimum donation of $25 for adults and $10

for children is requested at the time of registration. Immediately following

the walk, join friends and family for refreshments. All participants will

receive a t-shirt at the event.

If you cannot make it to the fundraiser, but would like to help The Brent

Woodall Foundation further their mission, you can make a secure donation

online at www.woodallkids.org/donations.html.

If you found this information interesting, please pass it on!
