http://www.autismarts.com The McMurray A.R.T.S. Center & Autism Arts
are aware of the many individuals throughout the world dedicated to
improving the lives of individuals who are affected by an Autism
Spectrum Disorder. These advocacy challenges include increasing
awareness and understanding of this disorder to the broader
community, creating more opportunities in research and medical
treatments, and increasing the availability of educational and
community based supports. In assuring that individuals affected by
this disorder can have the best possible opportunities to achieve a
fulfilling life, conferences offer an opportunity where the
communications among parents, educational, and medical advocates can
secure improved treatment options and hopefully, one day find a cure.

To show our appreciation of the passionate endeavors of advocates
throughout the world, we are initiating a special contest -- the
Autism Arts Conference Connection (AACC), where winners may select
the conference they wish to attend.
