On March 14, a group of 10 dedicated participants, including parents, staff, and supporters, engaged in a public speaking training session led by Kathy Tate-Bradish, a recognized public speaker. The individuals who attended the training have agreed to serve as guest speakers on behalf of Rimland and plan to secure speaking engagements at churches, synagogues, civic organizations, service clubs, and business groups during the month of April—Autism Awareness Month—to raise awareness about autism and about the work that Rimland is doing. Engagements scheduled so far include the Evanston Rotary Club and the Lake Zurich Rotary Club. A follow-up training session is planned during the month of April. Thanks to all who participated in the training and who will be involved in this important outreach effort!
