The Legacy Banks Foundation Contributes to BFAIR Autism Education Program
09:28AM / Monday, May 11, 2009
PITTSFIELD, Mass. – The Legacy Banks Foundation has provided a grant in the amount of $1,500 to Berkshire Family and Individual Resources (BFAIR) to support professional development for educators who specialize in autism. BFAIR provides quality services, advocacy and education for people with disabilities which affirm the rights of full inclusion, diversity, and well-being.
In recent years, an Autism Resources Center was developed to enable families, educators and other interested professionals to obtain reliable information regarding treatment options for children and adolescents with a diagnosis of Autism, Autism Spectrum Disorder, or Developmental Disabilities. Legacy’s grant will fund professional development opportunities for parents and educators of Berkshire County
“We are very pleased to provide this funding to BFAIR to support those who assist children and families faced with autism. We appreciate the efforts of BFAIR to offer this much needed service to our community.”
Established in 2005, The Legacy Banks Foundation continues the philanthropic tradition of Legacy Banks and its associates who have generously contributed their time, talent and treasure for the betterment of the communities in which they have worked and lived for well over a century. The Foundation focuses its support in six major areas - affordable housing, economic development, education, health and human services, civic and community, and arts & culture.
