SPONSORSHIP AND VENDORS REGISTRATION

Per Marcus Autism Center, Autism which is referred to autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects a child’s social skills, communication and behavior development. More simply put, it means that a child’s brain develops and works a little differently and can affect how a kid understands and relates to others. No two children on the autism spectrum are the same but may indeed have similar traits that can be professionally identified.

As a group of advocates, we at Autism Branches all have children or know many families with children that have similar character traits.  This allows us to embrace others through the learning curves from toddlerhood to adult adolescents. 

Pay close attention to the early development of your child from 6 months to age 3.  You will notice early signs in your child potentially showing some of the following:

1: Lack of eye-to-eye contact after 12 months to age 3 

2: Minimum engagement with others 

3: Minimum to no babbling, crying or mimicking

4: Repetitive movement: clapping, flapping hands, twirling, rocking back and forth

5: Constant screams without verbal pronunciation

6: Sleep deprivation, screams at night or never wants to nap

7:  Lack in potty training, will not try to engage in potty training

8: Unwillingness to try different foods, play with food or use baby utensils

9: Doesn't play with typical children's toys

10: Most children wander or run from their care givers during their toddler years. It's the regular occurrence of this action that should enable you to be extremely protective and cautious of a child that can easily drift off from their care givers. 

Most toddlers will exhibit some form of the above throughout their developmental years but it's very important you know your child's growth from infant stages to toddlerhood in effort to get a proper diagnosis.  Every child is different on the spectrum, do not be offended or disturbed by the word Autism.  Be proactive by getting your child professionally diagnosed so a clinical specialist can create a development plan to help your child meet those milestone goal in their early years to be great.

We offer a variety of events throughout the year, bringing the entire community together for updated resources, new laws in the State of Georgia that will benefits families with children on the autism spectrum, as well as building social inclusion. This summer in June & July we will be implementing a new ASD camp geared for speech, reading and writing as well as outdoor activities, summer carnivals, horse rides, sampling of new food and exploration of the great outdoors. Your generous support enables us to open doors of opportunity for children with learning disabilities to be a part of something created for that every neurodivergent child.
