Easter Seals release informative balloons
Students released balloons in Tinley Park in celebration of Autism Awareness Month.
At Easter Seals, our students at our Tinley Park location had the opportunity to hold a Balloon Launch on April 22. Students and staff released dozens of balloons in every col-
or in honor of Autism Awareness Month.
Each balloon was tagged with relevant facts and infor-
mation about autism designed to increase awareness and understanding, and provide valuable information for par- ents of children affected by autism, and all those touched by its spectrum of disorders.
Facts included statistics and research-based infor- mation to educate people about the complexities of the spectrum, and debunk myths and misconceptions about living with autism. d
