CRANBERRY TOWNSHIP, Pa., May 23 /PRNewswire/ -- Dr. Nancy Minshew, a leading researcher on the thinking processes of children with autism will talk about her work in a presentation co-sponsored by the Pennsylvania Cyber Charter School.

"One child in every 150 is now diagnosed with autism. Students with autism and other special needs are underserved in our region. PA Cyber, as part of its mission, is committed to focusing on the needs of these children and using its resources to help them and their families," said Dr. Nick Trombetta, CEO of the Pennsylvania Cyber Charter School (http://www.pacyber.org/about/trombettaBio.aspx).

"Understanding Thinking in Autism: The Key to Success in Communication and Intervention" is planned for 1 to 4 p.m. Wednesday, May 28, at The Regional Learning Alliance in Cranberry Township. A $10 admission donation will go to an autism-related organization, The Hope for Autism Foundation. More information can be found at http://www.thehopelearningcenter.com/.

This conference is part of a series of eight hosted by The Hope Learning Center in an effort to promote autism awareness in the community.
