Meeting the unique needs of kids with Autism Spectrum Disorder is Noble’s specialty.

Noble has always served people with autism — approximately 70% of the kids in our summer camps have Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). It is called a spectrum disorder to reflect the
range of symptoms experienced. Today, over 1 million Americans live with ASD, it's four times more common in boys than girls, and Indiana is 4th in the nation for the prevalence of persons with ASD.

That's why we've launched several new initiatives in the past year, including:

• Central Indiana Autism Support Group will meet:
  Wednesday, Jan. 18
  6 - 8 pm
  Noble North (12220 Hancock St, Carmel)
  Refreshments and childcare provided. Check out Facebook!
   
• Sibshops for siblings of kids with autism will meet:
  Saturday, March 10
  10 am - 1:30
  Damar (6067 Decatur Blvd., Indpls) Check the flyer for more.
   
• Social Skills classes for teens are held periodically. To learn more, click here.
   
• Social Skills Autism Summer Camp

Noble’s Autism Services are designed to:

• Help children with ASD increase their social, educational, behavioral, fine and gross motor skills.
• Teach caregivers how to help children increase skill levels.
• Provide support to parents, siblings and caregivers.
• Engage children in fun activities, which serve as learning tools.

ASD is the most increasingly diagnosed developmental disability, affecting 1 in 91 Hoosier births. Diagnosis has increased 600% over the past 20 years, which may be due to differences in definition, increased awareness, better education of physicians and improved earlier diagnosis.
