April is National Autism Awareness Month, and is a good reminder that 1 in 68 children are diagnosed with Autism every year. It’s a great month to promote awareness and help spread the word about tools that can help children as well as parents of children diagnosed with autism.
For the millions of people living with autism, daily routines like brushing your teeth can be a challenge. But Holly Robinson Peete and Colgate are helping to change that.
In honor of Autism Awareness Month, Colgate partnered with actress and Autism activist Holly Robinson Peete, whose son RJ was diagnosed at a young age. She has since been a passionate voice around spreading education and awareness to families around the world. Holly is a big fan of a new step-by-step visual app called Magnus Cards, a free app that provides instructions for life skills like brushing teeth, flossing, rinsing and visiting the dental office. Together, we’re empowering individuals with autism and their caregivers.
“Since my son RJ was diagnosed with autism, I’ve been passionate about increasing awareness and providing support to the community by sharing my experience and resources for other families like ours,” quotes Holly, “that’s why I really like MagnusCards, a free app that empowers people with autism by giving them step-by-step guides they can use right on their smartphones.”
Check out Holly’s helpful tips she uses with her own family to share with other parents and children:
Colgate recently launched 5 guides on the app to help establish healthy oral care routines from proper tooth brushing to visiting the dentist. Be sure to get more info at Colgate.MagnusCards.com.
