UC Santa Barbara’s Koegel Autism Center has postponed its Funk for Autism fundraiser that was scheduled for Saturday, September 27 at The Lark Restaurant due to issues and delays with permitting. The event will be re-scheduled for some time spring 2015.
The Koegel Autism Research and Training Center, overseen by Drs. Robert and Lynn Koegel, is dedicated to improving the lives and prognoses of children with autism, as well as the lives of their families. It has been recognized by the National Academy of Sciences – and ranked among the country’s top 12 such facilities – for its innovative research and teaching methods in a variety of areas, including parent education, language development, and teacher education. It offers a state-of-the-art behavioral approach to autistic children. The Koegel Autism Center is part of The Gevirtz School at UC Santa Barbara.
