In this program, Keith Green, who founded the Autism MVP Foundation talks about his story as sports marketer, whose sports companies supported autism fundraising and also as a father with a child in the autism spectrum. Keith said in SportsMD.com:
“Sports… is a near-universal bond. Couple those factors with a disorder that can be hard to describe and understand, has no cure, can be difficult to manage for educators, therapists, and caregivers, and affects those diagnosed in a multitude of ways for their lifetimes, then it’s easy to see how a bond between sports and autism has formed and thrived.”
In the episode host, Cyndi Greenglass and her guest, Keith Green will discuss:
About our guest:
Accomplished marketing communications pro; dynamic speaker, storyteller, teacher, and mentor. Non-profit founder and leader.

In 2015, Keith expanded his PR, marketing, community relations, and sales experience to include the role of a non-profit founder and leader when he formed the Autism MVP Foundation. The all-volunteer non-profit, which was inspired by Keith’s son and the educators and therapists who have helped make a difference in his family’s life, is dedicated to increasing the number and quality of autism-focused educators. The foundation’s programs include a groundbreaking training program for teachers and paraprofessionals, and a scholarship initiative for graduate students who are committed to pursuing a career to improve educational, social and life skill outcomes for individuals who have autism.
