Autism Information
Autism is a devastating neurological and biological disorder that typically affects children between the ages of 18 months to five years of age. Autism currently affects 1 in every 150 children in the U.S. today. It is estimated there are over 1.5 million people in the United States alone with autism. Autism affects each individual differently and at different levels of severity. Some people with autism are severely affected, cannot speak, require constant one-on-one care, and are never able to live independently. Others have less severe symptoms, can communicate, and eventually acquire the necessary skills to live on their own.
Symptoms of Autism - typically, autism affects individuals in four key areas: |
• Communication (verbal and non-verbal)
• Social skills |
• Behaviors
• Learning |
TACA believes in early diagnosis, intensive therapies and medical intervention for children affected by autism. With early intervention, medical treatment unique to each person’s needs, and necessary support services for families many children can improve greatly and some can recover from their autistic symptoms. We believe the future is not defined for many children affected by autism. Hope and recovery is possible.
What has JACK FM & TACA accomplished together?
Since 2006, Jack FM & TACA have partnered together in four separate events including: Jacks First Show, Jacks Second Show, Jacks Third Show and the Jack Open Golf Tournament. TACA has greatly benefitted from being included in these Jack FM activities.
At these events, we touched over 48,000 people with the event announcements, TACA message, and autism disease awareness. And countless others heard the event announcements via radio spots on Jack FM.
All these events have had the Jack FM signature of fun while educating and helping to fund necessary programs to families affected by autism. This partnership has been incredibly successful for TACA.
