We are creating a model where individuals move from interest areas to developed skill into more functional application of the skill. Included in this area are about a dozen programs offered in multiple sessions during the year for periods of two to eight weeks each. These programs primarily focus on social skill development, sensory integration and emotional support.The largest of our programs is the Social Skills Summer Program A six-week social skills program held during the extended school year in collaboration with the Greater Rochester YMCA. The special instruction makes it possible for approximately 100 children with Autism between the ages of 3 and 16 to be fully integrated at camps Arrowhead, Bay View and Northpoint.We also offer the ICan Ride Bike Camp where 40 kids learn in one week how to ride a conventional bike without the training wheels. This program has a 95% success rate due to the use of unique customizable equipment. 57746 30879 AutismUp strives to support all individuals and their families in the greater Rochester area who are impacted by Autism Spectrum Disorder. We offer a growing list of support programs, educational opportunities and family gatherings as a way to help our member families improve their ability to support one another and their quality of life. The development of our Cycle of Support model is a key component of this area. This model includes a Family Navigator at the Golisano Childrens Hospital and a team of parent mentors. 47634 17687 We seek to improve our communitys ability to support and to include individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder and their caregivers. This area includes our advocacy initiatives, collaboration with other agencies and community training opportunities. For the past several years we have hosted a fall Conference where we invite national experts here to share information and strategies to hundreds of parents, professionals and students who seek ways to better support individuals with autism. 298259 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false true false false false false false false false true false false false true false false false false false false false false false true true true true false false false false false false false false false true 10 0 true 19 true false false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false false false false X 17 17 true false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false NY X X CHRISTINA HILTON 5852489011 180 LINDEN OAKS DR ROCHESTER NY 14625 X STEVE KRAUSS Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JOHN CARROLL Secretary 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 JULIE BUICK Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 SCOTT BURDETT Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MARK HIGGINS Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 BETSY BRUGG Vice President 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 LISA FETKENHOUR Chairman 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 SUSAN HYMAN Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MANEET SINGH Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 KATHY MCCARTHY PROULX Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JEFF MCCANN Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ROBERT MCGRAW Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 WILLIAM MYERS Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JAMES PIAMPIANO Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ANGELO PONTICELLO Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JEREMY RACO Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 STEPHEN RICHARDS Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 0 false false false 0 38246 57224 46876 35033 57224 177379 ATTENDEE PAYMENTS 22543 22543 CONFERENCE BOOKS 1644 1644 EVENT SPONSORSHIPS 1000 1000 PARENT PARTICIPATION 115069 115069 PROGRAM SERVICE FEES 1505 1505 141761 823 823 0 0 0 0 292277 57224 129549 162728 0 0 0 482691 142584 0 16588 16588 0 0 0 0 176623 91820 30064 54739 0 0 15812 8222 2688 4902 0 0 3200 3200 0 0 0 21646 11804 2805 7037 5959 5950 9 7831 3852 1640 2339 0 0 7500 3900 1275 2325 0 0 3883 3883 0 0 3223 3223 7607 3746 1628 2233 PROGRAM STAFF 111187 111187 VENUE COSTS 29393 22825 3400 3168 Printing and Publications 16543 4483 1267 10793 PROGRAM SUPPLIES/TRAINING 10216 8117 2099 36296 7832 9998 18466 473507 298259 69237 106011 110362 197363 163896 97595 0 39591 72270 0 0 0 0 2760 0 21186 9439 9180 11747 0 0 0 0 1 325789 378976 5514 7161 10000 52356 15514 59517 X 310275 319459 310275 319459 325789 378976 9184 X false true X true false X 241972 285659 374437 418506 486551 1807125 0 0 241972 285659 374437 418506 486551 1807125 0 1807125 293 421 327 715 823 2579 0 0 1809704 0.99860 0.99870 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 13800 8496 5304 7386 943 6443 11747 482691 482691 482691 473507 473507 473507 false SPRING GALA 275503 56898 218605 112662 KITE FLIGHT 53463 326 53137 10575 1 20535 20535 6312 349501 57224 292277 129549 129549 162728 true 0 0 PROGRAM SCHOLARSHIPS 16588 TUITION REDUCTION - FMV PROVIDED SCHOLARSHIPS FOR PROGRAMS SPEEDPRO IMAGING SPOUSE 13207 PRINTING SERVICES false X ADVERTISING 1 10000 COMPARABLE SALES X ADVERTISING 1 10000 COMPARABLE SALES X ADVERTISING 1 10000 COMPARABLE SALES ADVERTISING 2 4000 COMP.
