The Student Educational Development Fund (SEDF), a non-profit dedicated to providing financial aid to LD students and training to LD educators, presents the 2010 SED Fund Benefit featuring Dr. Stephen Shore, author of Autism for Dummies and Beyond the Wall.
Walk Now for Autism is Autism Speaks’ signature fund raising and awareness event which takes place in communities across the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom.
Powered by volunteers and families with loved ones on the Autism spectrum, this successful grassroots fund raising effort not only generates vital funds for Autism research but also raises awareness about the increasing prevalence of Autism and the need for increased research funding to combat this complex disorder.
Throughout the year, Brevard Center students participate in community service opportunities such as local beach clean-ups and special events such as the Habitat for Humanity Annual Strawberry Festival, Autism Awareness Festival, and Walk Now for Autism.
For the summer, our center’s goal was to choose a project that would engage both students and staff and be ongoing throughout the summer. We chose to participate in an aluminum can drive for our local Habitat for Humanity office.
