Autism Awareness / Early Intervention
Alternative Treatment Program Seminar

“Treatment and Training for Autisms”

Time: March 1, 2008, Saturday 2:00 - 4:00 pm
Location: First Christian Church, 220 S. 5th Street, Alhambra, CA 91801

CPAD will again invite Dr. Kanyang Wu of Ancient Acupuncture Center to give a special seminar. This is second of a series of seminars by Dr. Wu. (Last time Dr. Wu talked about “Why/how Chinese Medicine Can Treat Autism” in March 2007).

Autism is not incurable. Autism can be fully recovered with the treatments of Chinese medicine. In USA, Dr. Wu has already recovered three autism cases. Based on his clinical cases, Dr. Wu is able to bring obvious results within the first 2 months. The optimum recovery time is under age 5. Early intervention is the key to autism’s full recovery. Treatment and training must work together. They complement each other. But either of them cannot be substituted by the other. Treatment helps to create the foundation for training and training enforces the medical efficacy of treatment.

Dr. Wu has published dozens of articles in the last five years. These articles are available in his website http://www.AncientAC.com. (The above information is provided by Dr. Wu. The information is presented to CPAD parents for reference only.) ** Refreshment is available **

2/16/2008 CPAD Chinese New Year was a very warm, cozy and fun party. Everyone enjoyed the program and delicious dim sum! What a wonderful way to celebrate the year of Rat!
We sincerely thank our sponsors: Mr. & Mrs. Kenneth Lee

Especially we are very happy to see our friends who have been supporting us all these years, also the opportunity to meet with new friends. In particular, at the party our long time friend Lucy Tsay donated $200 and Mr. Sikee Louie from Kong Chow Benevolent Association of Southern California donated $1,000 to support CPAD’s programs. We thank them from the bottom of our hearts.

Dear Friends,
We enjoyed very much for the CPAD Chinese New Year Celebration. The Dim Sum was excellent. It was very nice to meet with other parents and their children. Many thanks to the hard working ladies of CPAD and Mrs. Tak Lee. The occasion helped to start the New Year with gracious hospitality, good food and conversation and the ubiquitous red packet.. a good omen for the Year of the Mouse. Rachel enjoyed the Dim Sum variety and said it make her day.
- Rachel, Maria and Denis McGrath
