Ricky Hood & Speaker Carol Walker
Club member Carol Walker, who is the PR Director for Clear Horizons Academy talked about Autism and the work Clear Horizons Academy is doing to help those afflicted with this disability and their families.  Utah has the highest incidents of Autism in the nation. It is a life long disability that causes those that have it to have difficulty with communication, behavior and social skills.  Boys are four times as likely to display symptoms of this disability as girls.  Carol invited us to continue to be involved with Clear Horizons to help those afflicted.
