| ![]() Achieve Beyond Supports The Communication Shutdown ProjectThe nationwide pediatric therapy and autism services company, Achieve Beyond, supports the shutting down of it's social media sites for one day to support autism awareness around the world.
By: Jonathan Drewes The "Communication Shutdown" project is designed to have people see through the eyes of autistic children who usually have trouble socially communicating. This act of not using your social media accounts simulates this and will allow participants to have an idea of what an autistic child experiences everyday. The program works through a newly designed Facebook and Twitter Application named CHAPP developed to inform your social media viewers on November 1st, 2010 you are being silent on this front to support autism. The donation minimum is merely five dollars and it gives you access to loads of interactive marketing materials. These include, but are not limited to, animated flash buttons to advertise on your webpage / social media page, an email signature, logos of the cause to post on blogs / forums, suggested postings for other media sites and more. The donation even triggers your Facebook picture to be displayed on the 'Communication Shutdown" main page contributor wall that is very impressive looking. "Communication Shutdown" was brought together / sponsored by well known companies and autism awareness groups such as the Autism Society, Paypal, Giant Steps, Breeder, Autism Rowland and Autism Society to name a few. The proceeds of this project go to fund autism awareness around the world aid autistic children and families. Social media is so prevalent in today’s society and to not post for a day on Facebook / Twitter to raise autism awareness worldwide, Achieve Beyond was proud to donate to and join this great cause. If anyone would like to join the project there is link for the cause at the bottom of our website http://www.achievebeyondusa.com or you can just go straight to the "Communication Shutdown" site directly https://communicationshutdown.org. We at Achieve Beyond believe that autism awareness is so vitally important in today’s society and are proud to support "Communication Shutdown" and will continue to support programs like this as long as our company is providing services to the autistic community. # # # Achieve Beyond is a pediatric therapy company that provides early intervention heath care, autism services and special education to kids nationwide including Illinois, California, Virginia, Connecticut and Oklahoma.
