KILEE PATCHELL-EVANS AUTISM RESEARCH GROUP

Today one in every 150 children in Canada is diagnosed with autism. Autistic children often exist in a world of isolation, unable to relate to the people around them or enjoy the routines we all take for granted for our children—going to school, playing with friends, telling their parents they love them.

But there is hope! The Kilee Patchell-Evans Autism Research Group, under the direction of Dr. Derrick MacFabe was founded in 2003 with funding provided by David Patchell-Evans. Now that commitment has grown to a personal donation of over $3 million. The team continues to unfold important new findings that are receiving global attention. Recognized by the Canadian Medical Association in 2007 with its Medal of Honour, David Patchell-Evans and Dr. MacFabe continue to build collaborations between scientists and concerned citizens around the world.
