b-Calm at Walk Now for Autism

On Saturday, June 18th, 2010 b-Calm participated in the Walk Now for Autism Speaks, an event to raise money and awareness for Autism Spectrum Disorder. Over 1,300 participants gathered together at Valley Stadium in West Des Moines to help those with Autism by raising money to fund treatment and research for a cure.

This year’s event showed a 25% increase in participation over last year with walkers raising over $130,000. There were also many generous sponsors funding the event and raising money for the walkathon.

Children participating had the opportunity to play in the bounce houses and have their faces painted while at the walk.

b-Calm provided free treats for the children as well as support and information about the b-Calm System and how it can help families with autistic children. Many interested participants had the opportunity to stop and ask questions and even try out b-Calm.

The day was a success for all participants and helped raise money and awareness to an issue of importance. b-Calm looks forward to participating in this event next year.

A Parent’s Perspective

It can be beneficial for parents of children with Autism to hear directly from other parents what techniques or strategies they have used that helped.

Dr. Suzanne Bartlett has used b-Calm with her son John.  You may remember an earlier post about how b-Calm helped John at the dentist.  Now you can watch and listen as Dr. Bartlett talks about autism, her son John, and how b-Calm has helped.
