(Nashville, Tenn.) Katie Chance, a nine-year-old fourth-grader who lives in the Middle Tennessee area, has released her debut single to radio, "Love In My Pocket," a song she co-wrote with her father. For Chance, who was diagnosed with autism at the age of two, the song is both her personal heartwarming expression and an opportunity to thank the medical team at Nashville's Vanderbilt Kennedy Center Autism Research Program (TRIAD), who directed the young girl's speech pathology and therapy treatment program for more than thirty months.

Proceeds from the purchase of the song, available through Chance's website, LoveInMyPocket.com, iTunes and numerous other digital outlets, will benefit Vanderbilt's Kennedy Center. Radio stations across the country will be encouraged to support the promotion through airplay and website banners with links to download the song and contribute to the Kennedy Center.
Through the Vanderbilt facility's direction for early intervention, Chance made remarkable improvements and is now a very accomplished student and young recording artist. Her credits already include a duet with award-winning Sawyer Brown front man Mark Miller and songs in several motion pictures, including the "King Red" film project for children. Despite her early musical successes, when asked what she would like to be when she grows up, Chance is quick to say, "A speech pathologist, of course!"
