Speaker to address autism

Raun Kaufman, an inspirational speaker on the subject of autism, will present a program at 10 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 6, at Riverside Developmental Disabilities, 1625 Troy-Sidney Road.

Kaufman is the global education director for the Autism Treatment Center of America and the author of Autism Breakthrough.

Diagnosed at age two with severe autism, Kaufman now functions as a typical adult due to his parents developing an intervention model called the “Son-Rise Program.” This program was developed to empower parents to be the catalyst for a child’s development and progression to maximize potential. The cost is $19 per person. For more information or to register for the event, visit www.pennyhines.com or www.raunkaufmantroyohio.eventbrite.com. NANCY BOWMAN, CONTRIBUTING WRITER
