Autism Awareness Alliance

About Me



The mission of the Autism Awareness Alliance is to unite Autism nonprofits, professionals and advocates to form a voice in the media. Goals include delivering accurate and comprehensive information to media outlets through press releases, media proposals and press conferences.

Please visit our website at autismawarenessalliance.org

The Autism Awareness Alliance is an action based, proactive group. Our members are responsible for providing accurate information for and about Autism groups and endeavors to broadcast media and internet resources.

The Autism Awareness Alliance was founded by dedicated Autism advocates including the board of the Hawkeye Ranch Center for Autism, sportscaster Mark Knudson, Autism Advocate Rhonda Spellman, Mark Leland’s Success Fundraising Company and Kendra Kellogg of the E-Advocate.
