Free Ballet Tickets for Families Affected by Autism

OREM, Utah - May 12, 2014 - PRLog -- On the heels of Utah’s new autism laws taking affect today requiring many state regulated health plans to cover speech, occupational and physical therapies along with other types of care for individuals with autism, Utah County organizations have teamed up to provide some recreational relief to families affected by autism.

CompleteSpeech, an Orem based speech technology provider, has teamed up with the Utah Regional Ballet and the Scera Center for the Arts by sponsoring a free matinee performance of Once upon a time: Cinderella on Saturday, May 17th for all families affected by autism.  Families with one or more individuals with autism are invited to reserve tickets for the free 2:00pm show by calling Michele Moon at 801-709-3305.  Seats are limited.

Dan Smith, CompleteSpeech COO said, “Many people do not realize that for these families, attending public events can be incredibly stressful and at times downright impossible trying to help their child stay quiet or calm.  We wanted to provide an atmosphere where parents can relax; a place where the audience and even the performers, are all engaged in supporting one another without judging.  This is a cause we are honored to support.”

Once upon a time: Cinderella will be presented May 15-17^th at the Scera Center for the Arts in Orem.  Free performance for families affected by autism will be held at 2:00pm on Saturday, May 17^th only.
