West Chester University's Autism Research Center (SPARC) selects local attorney as President.

West Chester University's Southeastern Pennsylvania Autism Resource Center has elected MacElree Harvey attorney A. Duie Latta as President. Latta has been an active member of SPARC's Board of Trustees since its inception in 2007.

SPARC serves children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorders by offering diagnostic, therapeutic and educational services. In addition to supporting young individuals with autism, SPARC provides consultative services and programs for those who care for and educate the children: parents, teachers, and aids.

In many parts of the U.S., children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders have limited options for services. The formation of SPARC helps to fill a growing need for the kinds of treatment and consultation necessary to build academic, personal, and social growth in autistic children. Latta is honored to lead a team of trustees focused on raising awareness and funds for these children and young adults.

Latta concentrates his practice of law on Business and Corporate Law, Real Estate, Non-Profit and Charitable Organizations and Estate and Business Succession Planning.
