| "World Autism Awareness Day" - qualityg style | | 2008-04-03 19:44:00 | | April 2, 2008
Today first World Autism Awareness Day. It is a special day to honor to the bravery of the individuals with autism and their families.
Today I wore my favorite autism shirt to school. I often feel more people should live outside the box and take lessons from our special children.
Interestingly at school today no one was aware of Autism Day. Eight students commented to me after | | By: qualityg says ... | | |

| | World Autism Awareness Day | | 2008-04-02 11:24:00 | | Today is a very special day for those who have been affected by autism. It is World Autism Awareness Day. My family was affected by it, as two of my nephews, Joe and Matt, have been touched by autism. They are both beautiful boys, and I love them very much.April is Autism Awareness Month, and today is the day when autism is specifically targeted for better awareness until a cure can be found. Having a child with autism has been a great challenge for my sisters Maureen and Theresa. But I am proud of them for everything they have done for their sons.Theresa sent me an email with many of the facts about autism:Autism affects all persons regardless of race, religion, socio-economic status or geography.The incidence of autism in the United States is 1 in 150 and 1 in 94 boys, with rates appearing to have increased similarly around the globe.A child is diagnosed with autism every 20 minutes.Based on data collected from North America, Western Europe and Japan, it is conservatively estimated | | By: The Mighty Quinn Media Machine | | |

| | Help Us Celebrate 2nd World Elder Abuse Awareness Day (WEAAD) | | 2007-06-15 15:08:00 | | We ask everyone to consider how important Elder Day really is and please volunteer your time to go to a retirement home near you and bring small gift. You can get excellent perfumes at the Dollar store, bring an elder a gift, he won't care you only paid a dollar for it, he cares about the thought, and he/she will feel good about it and their eyes will light up when they see that someone cares. Unfortunately in Key West too many people park their elders at the Key West Convalescent Center and forget about them, recent regulations require that an elders care plan be signed off by the elders proxy, otherwise the State levies a fine on the Home. Now how in the world you going to get the elders family to sign off on a care plan if they can't be found? They only surface when an elder is hurt, and many times because they think that they can get money then by filing suit against the home, which in order to avoid a prolonged trial and ever ending legal fees then settles with you , we know abo | | By: Elder Abuse | | |
| | June 15 is World Elder Abuse Awareness Day | | 2007-06-14 14:20:00 | | Contributed by: Nichole Parmelly Arapahoe County- ColoradoElder abuse and the aging population is cause for concern It's difficult to imagine who could abuse and neglect their grandfather or the frail senior who lives down the street, but it happens more frequently than you might expect."With our population aging, there will be more people to victimize and greater opportunities to abuse, neglect and financially exploit our elderly citizens," said Angela Lytle, Children, Youth and Family Services Manager for Arapahoe County. "If our community understands the seriousness of this issue, we will be able to better protect our senior population. That is just one of the reasons why Governor Bill Ritter proclaimed June 15 as World Elder Abuse Awareness Day."For many, abuse, exploitation or neglect is caused by a caregiver or a member of their own family. Often the victim is totally dependent upon the abuser and is afraid to complain for fear of reprisal. It has been estimated that as many as | | By: Elder Abuse | | |
| | Solano County Board of Supervisors adopted a resolution declaring June 15, 2007 as World Elder Abuse Awareness Day in Solano County. | | 2007-06-14 14:15:00 | | Elder Abuse Awareness Day Solano County - CaliforniaSolano County Board of Supervisors adopted a resolution declaring June 15, 2007 as World Elder Abuse Awareness Day in Solano County."This resolution contributes to the overall public education campaign of making people aware that we have, unfortunately, people in our community who will prey on our seniors," said Supervisor Mike Reagan, chairman of the Board of Supervisors. "As our County goes from a quarter to a third of our population age 50 and older, we need to ensure more seniors are educated about the potential of abuse so they can protect themselves, and to increase the awareness in the rest of society to identify the signs of elder abuse."According to the California Department of Finance, there were 94,555 people age 50 and older in Solano in 2000, or 23.8% of the county's total population. That number is expected to nearly double by 2020 – 180,784 or 32.6% of the county's total population."Awareness efforts like this resol | | By: Elder Abuse | | |

| | World Elder Abuse Awareness Day | | 2007-04-15 13:35:00 | | Friday 15 June 2007 Mark your calendars! The International Network for the Prevention of Elder Abuse (INPEA) has announced the 2nd Annual World Elder Abuse Awareness Day (WEAAD) on June 15, 2007 and once again AEA is working with care providers, regulators, government bodies, and the public to make this a major eventAdult Protection Teams are under-funded, under-resourced, and under-staffed. Increased referrals to some teams would result in crisis. Abusers escape through the huge gaps that exist e.g. if you neglect someone and kill them you will face a charge under the Domestic Violence, Crimes and and Victims Act 2005. But you can neglect them, and neglect them, and neglect them ...to the point of death. This must stop! | | By: Elder Abuse | | |
