Bright future ahead for autism therapeutic school

Posted by Maurice Snell on February 11th, 2008

I hope everyone is enjoying the new year so far. 2008 is a year with many major events imminent at Easter Seals Metropolitan Chicago. That’s where I work.

One major event that is scheduled to happen this year is the opening of the Easter Seals Metropolitan Chicago’s New Therapeutic School and Center for Autism Research. Phase I of the project is expected to be completed this fall, and the construction gets better and better each day.

When I drive by the campus of the new building on my way to work every morning, I don’t just see one ordinary building in one location. I see the entire future of the completed work ahead of me. This campus will have it all: state-of-the-art sensory rooms, therapy rooms, classrooms of larger size, and extensive research by the professionals from the University of Illinois at Chicago.

The new school will be a haven for many underprivileged children and families. Easter Seals is ready for a positive change for those with autism. With that being said, I believe Easter Seals will be great in 2008!
