“My son was happy and I noticed he learned some new things. His coordinator was amazing. I’m so thankful to you all for giving my son a safe space and good environment.”

Every child deserves a place where they feel safe, supported, and excited to try new things. A place where confidence can grow, new skills can develop, and joy can be part of the experience.

Through our "A Place to Be Me" campaign, we are working to create a summer where Autistic kids and teens can build meaningful memories in environments designed to support their success.

Your donations help create safe spaces and inclusive summer camp experiences where young people can feel comfortable being themselves.

Autistic kids and teens deserve the same joyful summer experiences and fun memories as everyone else—and with the right supports in place, those moments become possible.

Last summer, 2
41 participants from 144 families joined us across four different summer programs designed specifically for Autistic children and teens. These programs provide a supportive environment where participants can try new activities, build friendships, create lasting memories and truly be themselves.

This month, we’re raising funds to ensure these summer programs can continue to grow and remain accessible for families who need them.

April 2 marks the start of World Autism Acceptance Month.

This month is an opportunity to celebrate neurodiversity and recognize the strengths, perspectives, and contributions of Autistic individuals. Together, we can help build a community rooted in understanding, respect, and meaningful inclusion.

You may remember it being called World Autism Awareness Month. In 2021, the language shifted to acceptance to reflect what the Autistic and neurodivergent community has long emphasized: awareness is a moment, but acceptance requires ongoing action and commitment.

This month, we are raising funds for our inclusive summer programs and continuing to create spaces where our participants can truly be themselves. A place to be me! While some parts of camp are supported, there are still important pieces that rely on community support. The activities, experiences, and moments of connection are what make summer programming so meaningful.

Every gift helps create:

• Confidence
• Connection
• A true sense of belonging

2. Respecting differences and the unique strengths, abilities and challenges of Autistic people.
3. Empowering individuals by validating Autistic experiences and promoting self-advocacy.
4. Reducing stigma, challenging negative stereotypes and misconceptions, and fostering compassion and understanding.
5. Developing resources and supportive environments that cater to the diverse needs of Autistic people.

Have questions about autism assessments? You’re not alone.

Many families wonder what an assessment involves, when to consider one, and how the process can support their child.

Understanding your child’s strengths, needs, and experiences can open the door to meaningful supports at home, in school, and in the community.

We are 6 days away from World Autism Acceptance Day and the start of World Autism Acceptance Month.

This year, we’re excited to launch A Place to Be Me — a campaign focused on supporting our summer programs for Autistic kids and teens. These programs create opportunities for participants to try new activities, build confidence, form friendships, and enjoy the kind of fun summer experiences every young person deserves.

For many families, these programs provide a welcoming space where participants can feel comfortable being themselves while making meaningful memories that last long after summer ends.

Over the coming weeks, we’ll be sharing stories, impact, and opportunities to help create spaces and experiences where participants can try new things, build friendships, and simply enjoy being themselves.

We can’t wait to celebrate acceptance, inclusion, and belonging with you starting April 2. Stay tuned!
