Overall, the Walk raised over $160,000 for autism services for children, adults and their families, plus helped to promote autism acceptance throughout our community.  

According to Dr. Nicole DeRosa, Chief Clinical Officer at Kelberman, “Awareness and acceptance of autism is crucial particularly now given the new statistic, according to the Centers for Disease Control, that 1 in 36 children is diagnosed with autism. Kelberman is here for individuals and their families providing recreational, diagnostic, community, employment, and therapeutic supports.”
