Proceeds will be donated in the names of children with Autism and earmarked for the National Autism Association of Northwest Indiana’s Helping Hand Grant Program.  The Helping Hand Grant Program provides financial assistance to Lake and Porter county families who have a loved one affected by an Autism Spectrum Disorder.  Since it’s inception, NAA-NWI has awarded over $3,000 in grants for therapy, tuition and medical care not covered by insurance.

The National Autism Association of Northwest Indiana is happy to co-host the first ever inclusive region basketball camp! The main focus of this camp will be to ensure that all the kids have fun.

This camp will be for 2 days (4 hours each day) August 14-15th, at the Jean Sheppard Community Center in Hammond. Each player with autism will be partnered with a neurotypical peer and a coach. We will work in small groups on basketball skills such as dribbling, passing, shooting and how to play a basketball game. All coaches working with the kids will receive training on autism.

Each day we will have time for working on basketball skills, breaks, “free time” and a short 10-15 minute game. There will be an activity room setup to allow the kids to take a break from all the action.

Player Requirements: All we ask is that each player be between the ages of 6 and 12 and be able to use the toilet independently. We do not have staff on hand to take care of personal hygiene.

Once we receive your registration form, you will receive a confirmation letter with the schedule for both days. Prior to starting the camp, a waiver will have to be signed. There is no fee for this camp.
If you have any questions regarding this camp, you can contact Coach Reggie Brooks at 219-545-3989  or Lisa Fox at 219-947-0229.

Pre-Registration is required.  Download the form here and mail to:  NAA-NWI, PO Box 216, Hobart, IN  46342.  Deadline for registration is July 30th.

Gary RailCats vs. Rockford RiverHawks
Sunday, June 20, 2010

Game Time:  2pm

This was a very popular event last year and we anticipate that tickets will sell out quickly.

Tickets are $10 per person which gives you:

1. Entrance into the ballpark and the private Party Deck along 1st base
2. All you can eat buffet of hamburgers, hot dogs, grilled chicken breast, potato salad, baked beans, cookies and sodas
3. A visit with Rusty the RailCat
4. Access to a “quiet room” if needed
5. Playground behind the scoreboard
6. Free Parking
7. A great time!

Due to the popularity of this event and limited seating, we ask that only immediate family and caregivers purchase tickets.

If your child is on a special diet, we have received permission from the RailCats to allow you to bring in a cooler with appropriate food for that child only.

HOW TO PURCHASE TICKETS

We have been busy holding fundraisers so that we can continue to provide much needed financial assistance to local families in a time when the state of Indiana is cutting Waiver programs and insurance companies are denying coverage for basic testing & therapies. What we ask of you is that you help us spread to your friends and family whenever we hold a fundraising event.

The application must be postmarked by May 31st to be considered. Don’t forget to fill the application out completely and thoroughly and include all supporting documentation.

Topic: Impaired Energy Production and Mitochondrial Dysfunction in Autism

DVD Review from the 2008 NAA National Conference.  Discussion will follow.

We decided it would be a good idea to have a “tasting” of GFCF (gluten free, casein free) items for parents who were considering implementing the diet to help their children. Thanks to the generosity of many vendors such as WiseWay, Enjoy Life Foods, Pamela’s, Anna’s Breads and others, we had a large assortment of GFCF items for people to sample!
