KVCR Autism Initiative
According to the CDC, Autism is the fastest-growing developmental disability. Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a complex neurobiological disorder that typically strikes in the first three years of life, and lasts throughout a person’s lifetime. A diagnosis of ASD now includes several conditions that used to be diagnosed separately: autism, pervasive developmental disorder-not otherwise specified (PDD-NOS), and Asperger syndrome. One in 68 individuals are diagnosed with ASD. It’s almost five times more common in boys than girls. There are over 120,000 individuals living with this disorder in California; over 13,000 just in the Inland Empire.
KVCR Autism Initiative launched in 2009 to inform the general public, provide educational resources to educators, first responders, and medical professionals, and produce series of programs and national documentaries.
With our past success and our partnership with Inland Empire Autism Society, we will continue to provide educational opportunities, raise awareness and garner funding to produce local television and radio segments and documentaries.
Funding provides outreach materials and seed funding for local and national television and radio Autism related productions.
Our community partner is Inland Empire Autism Society http://www.ieautism.org

Your business would offer customers an opportunity to purchase a puzzle piece for $1. They can color the piece or select a pre-colored puzzle piece. We will provide your business with the puzzle pieces and a box of crayons or markers.
Each puzzle piece would be placed on the wall of your business during the month of April, National Autism Awareness Month. All funds raised stay in the Inland Empire, going to: Autism Society of the Inland Empire, KVCR Autism Initiative, and an Autism Scholarship Fund – which sends two adults living with autism through a school program every year.
