Welcome to Autism Family Resources, and thank you for taking the time to look. Our name includes Autism but we help ALL special needs families. We will be adding more information to this website during the following weeks, on how you can help or how you can apply for assistance.
Our MissionOur Mission is simple, to provide special needs families and caregivers with the financial means to acquire the "simple things" they so often are not able to obtain. Autism Family Resources, is a 501 (c) (3) non profit organization, was founded by the parents of an autistic young man, who understand the emotional and financial strain of raising a special needs child. We are asking good people to donate a few dollars when they can, or purchase our fundraising items to help provide funding to families that need those "simple things" that are not covered and always overlooked by other services or insurance, but are SO important to a special needs family. For Example: A family may have a physician or an occupational therapist prescribe for their child a weighted blanket, so that the child can sleep without waking every few hours, or help them calm or relax during the day. Another therapist may say to purchase equipment to help their child with motor skills and balance. The speech therapist says that a floor mirror would really help with their child's speech development. A monitor in the house is essential, to a parent that needs to keep a safe eye on their child playing in another room while trying to cook a meal for the family. A fence for the yard , is a necessity , so an autistic child can play outdoors without the fear that they may run off and get lost . An alarm on doors or windows to alert parents that a special needs child has sneaked out side in the middle of the night, is a life-saver. A special needs couple can't go out for dinner, a walk or even to the grocery store, without a trained respite provider caring for their child. The list is endless, and the expense is also. Autism Family Resource's mission is to provide funding to help with these "simple things". * How Can You Help?? CLICK HERE* *Need Assistance?? CLICK HERE*
