New York, NY, February 21, 2008 --(PR.com)-- The Manhattan Childrens Center, a private school for children with autism located at 124 West 95th Street in New York City, will host an Autistic Savant Art Exhibition (The Savant Exhibition) on April 9th and 10th in honor of World Autism Awareness Day and commemorating the month of April as Autism Awareness month.

In December 2007 The United Nations General Assembly passed a resolution designating April 2nd as World Autism Awareness Day in perpetuity starting in 2008. In recognition of World Autism Awareness Day a portion of The Savant Exhibition will also be featured at The United Nations prior to coming to The Manhattan Childrens Center.

The Manhattan Childrens Center is a twelve month interdisciplinary Applied Behavior Analytic (ABA) program which combines ABA scientific methods with related services in speech, occupational therapy and natural environment training. All instruction is provided on a one to one individualized basis to all students ages 3-12 years.

At The Manhattan Childrens Center the goal is to help every child reach his or her potential and become a functional member of their community.

The Savant Exhibition will feature works of art by over 12 renowned, exceptional individuals with autism. With early and effective treatment children with autism can truly accomplish great things.
