As Autism Awareness Month draws to an end, staff at Allied Services Wilkes-Barre Rehab Hospital took time to recognize the contributions of the Autism Golf Classic and its presenting sponsors, MotorWorld MileOne Autogroup and MotorWorld Lexus. Proceeds from the Autism Golf Classic and the Lexus Champions for Charity Pebble Beach Raffle support pediatric autism programs at Allied Services.
In 2021, Allied Services provided 32,839 therapeutic visits for pediatric patients in Scranton and Wilkes-Barre. Speech therapy, occupational therapy, and physical therapy staff at Allied Services served more than 600 pediatric patients in the last year, including children with challenges with social skills, repetitive behaviors, speech, and nonverbal communication, common to autism and autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
Since 2000, the focus of the Autism Golf Classic has been to support Autism services, including the formation of Parents & Professionals which has coordinated many socialization programs such as train excursions, field trips, and other events for Autistic children and their families!
The Autism Golf Classic takes place on Monday, June 20, 2022, at the Huntsville Golf Club in Lehman, PA.
MotorWorld MileOne Autogroup and MotorWorld Lexus provide additional support for autism services through the Lexus Champions for Charity Pebble Beach Raffle. Allied Services is a designated beneficiary of Lexus Champions for Charity. As the regional designee, Allied Services conducts a raffle with 300 chances to win the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to play in a 3-day charity golf tournament at the famous Pebble Beach Resort.
