NSU Supports Autism Awareness Month
April is Autism Awareness Month, and Nova Southeastern University is “going blue” to raise awareness about the autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and those whom it affects. We encourage NSU students, faculty, staff, and alumni to wear blue on Monday, April 4, to mark our support. Share your participation by posting photos of you, your friends, coworkers, and colleagues wearing blue via social media, using the hashtag #NSUBlue!
From innovative, direct-service programs to academic coursework and research—responding to the needs of those affected by autism is a major focus for the university. NSU treats children on the autism spectrum in medical, dental, optometry, and behavioral health settings, and we conduct groundbreaking research in nutrition, brain development, behavior, diagnosis, and other areas affecting those with ASD.
Many of NSU’s innovative initiatives are national and international models, and would not be possible without donors committed to Realizing Potential: The Campaign for Nova Southeastern University. The Kapila Foundation supports the Starting Right program while The Taft Foundation recently provided a grant to MSC’s Unicorn Children’s Foundation Clinic which will support training in our community to help people who care for children to recognize the “red flags” of autism. For this, we thank our philanthropic partners.

Show your support for these efforts by wearing blue on April 4.
