Crossroads is a nonprofit education and treatment program for
children with Autism and Spectrum Disorders.
Autism, a neurological disorder affecting the function of the brain,
has symptoms that typically appear within the first three years of life.
It is presently the third most prevalent syndrome in the United
States. Statistics report that at least twenty-two babies are born daily
with this syndrome. With appropriate education and treatment there
is much hope for these children. Crossroads utilizes Applied
Behavior Analysis (ABA) as the treatment philosophy and approach to
autism intervention. Noted as the only method for which empirical
research has validated success.
The intensive behavior therapy is provided by Crossroads at both
the school and at home. While funding from the state, counties and
school districts is available and provided, costs are numerous for a
program like Crossroads. Many services are provided by
Crossroads to the families and children. These services include:
parent training, sibling counseling, behavior management programs,
support groups, etc.
The planners and volunteers for the Albany Riverfront Music Festival
encourage the public to attend the event. Proceeds will go directly
to the Crossroads Center for Children communication device fund.
For information, to become a sponsor or to make a donation please

Donations can also be made at any Citizen’s or any First Niagara
