Before the Summer starts, some are busy with their finals, some say good-bye to their friends in schools and some are planning their vacations. In here, members of CPAD were busy for the last class of our children’s programs, field trip, dragon boat race practice, etc. Followings are some highlights:

On 5/17/2008 in the last session of our children’s program, CPAD held a celebration party, in appreciating our instructors and volunteers from Alhambra High School, and in the same time to congratulate Alhambra High School Student Clubs President, Stephanie for her graduation. We wish her all the best in U.C. Davis.

The 2/23/2008 Tennis Clinic gave our children a lot of fun in learning tennis… Here is a quote from our parent Mark:

“We were so lucky to have the opportunity to attend the Tennis Clinic. Although the rain cut the program short, Clive had fun learning tennis with the group. Thanks to Carla, her girl scouts, and other volunteers. They put up so much hard work to coordinate a wonderful event for CPAD kids. We hope that they can come back for another clinic. Thanks”

Autism Awareness / Early Intervention
Alternative Treatment Program Seminar

“Treatment and Training for Autisms”

Time: March 1, 2008, Saturday 2:00 - 4:00 pm
Location: First Christian Church, 220 S. 5th Street, Alhambra, CA 91801

CPAD will again invite Dr. Kanyang Wu of Ancient Acupuncture Center to give a special seminar. This is second of a series of seminars by Dr. Wu. (Last time Dr. Wu talked about “Why/how Chinese Medicine Can Treat Autism” in March 2007).

Autism is not incurable. Autism can be fully recovered with the treatments of Chinese medicine. In USA, Dr. Wu has already recovered three autism cases. Based on his clinical cases, Dr. Wu is able to bring obvious results within the first 2 months. The optimum recovery time is under age 5. Early intervention is the key to autism’s full recovery. Treatment and training must work together. They complement each other. But either of them cannot be substituted by the other. Treatment helps to create the foundation for training and training enforces the medical efficacy of treatment.

Dr. Wu has published dozens of articles in the last five years. The above information is provided by Dr. Wu. The information is presented to CPAD parents for reference only.** Refreshment is available **
