Sponsorship Information:  

The Fall ASMT Conference, “Are You Thinkin’ What I’m Thinkin’?  Theory of Mind: Where Social Cognition, Language Development, & Behavior Meet.”  is a fabulous opportunity for your company or organization to show your support of ASMT and our mission.   We are bringing in a nationally recognized author and speaker, Diane Twachtman-Cullen, Ph.D., CCC-SLP, to help parents and educators learn about Theory of Mind in individuals with autism spectrum disorders.

ASMT needs the support of businesses such as yours to meet the costs of this training. Please consider sponsoring ASMT’s 2008 Fall Conference; your generous support will enable ASMT to reach more families and to provide supports and services that will lead to a life of dignity and independence for individuals on the autism spectrum.

ASMT Conference Sponsorship Opportunities and Form

ASMT Conference Sponsorship Letter


A 2007 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report found that 1 in 150 children born in America today will be diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) – a neurological condition that impairs a person’s social, behavioral and sensory development. In science and technology-focused communities such as Middle Tennessee, that average is even higher.

There are many reasons for hope. Early diagnosis and intervention have demonstrated dramatic results. Instead of facing a world of social isolation, depression and abuse, children and adults on the autism spectrum are receiving therapies that teach them to navigate the social world and nurture their exceptional gifts.

The Autism Society of Middle Tennessee (ASMT) is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to promoting autism awareness and helping to ensure that individuals with autism and their families receive appropriate, effective services. Through our workshops, orientations, conferences, information and referral office, library, and web site, we serve a large and diverse population of individuals, families, and professionals.

Currently, ASMT has a network of over 2000 families and individuals in over 46 counties of Middle Tennessee who directly benefit from our services. However, these families represent only a fraction of the families who are living with autism differences in our region. We must do more.   With YOUR help, we CAN do more.  Thank you for your support of ASMT.
