Autism Spectrum Disorder Foundation Inc

Thank you so much for gifting my son the iPad ! it was a total surprise and now he is able to have activities , movies and games appropriate for his age rather than having to share with his big brother everyday . The impact it makes on my family is so positive because my son has been all smiles since receiving it .

Estoy encanta, mi hija esta muy contenta, puede ver sus caricaturas favoritas y estamos descargando aplicaciones para niños con su condición. Nunca pensé que íbamos a recibir esta gran ayuda, ya que nos sirve para sus terapias. Estoy mas que agradecida por tomarnos en cuenta. Que Dios los bendiga grandemente para que puedan seguir ayudando a muchas más familias del espectrum.

My son who just turned 4 was recently diagnosed as nonverbal level 3 autism. I've known 4 a while but hearing that was a hard truth to come to terms with. I love my little boy with all my heart but it was becoming more and more difficult to communicate with him and to keep him focused/entertained/just still for longer than 5 minute periods. This ipad has helped tremendously. He watches educational videos. Plays learning games. It calms him down when he gets in a panic. He understands when he can and can't have it. I am so thankful for this 1 extra tool that's helped our lives so much.

My 12 year old son has autism and he loves electronics it really helps him to escape and enjoy himself and his old iPad had died and we didn’t have money to get him another one and I applied for an iPad thru this organization and to my suprise on his bday month we received one . We are so grateful and don’t have the words to ever really make you understand what an amazing gift you had given us . We appreciate it so much and you are doing a wonderful thing for many families that can’t afford an iPad ! Thank you from
The bottom of our hearts .

I have an autistic 6 year old son. ASDF has blessed him with an iPad. He absolutely loves it! It helps him to be able to learn more on his own time. He loves being able to play many of the games I’ve downloaded for him. This has been a huge blessing for us! Forever grateful for this foundation!

I am a mother of 5 toddlers. Two of my children are autistic. One non verbal and the other mental challenges. I applied for an iPad, but I completely forgot about it. A month later, the iPad was at my front door. I got to just say that I am grateful! My son LOVES the iPad! It has helped him express himself so much more! He’s been playing this game where it teaches him to trace letters! He LOVES it! It’s hard to afford devices like this, so I am very appreciative for this program.

I’m so grateful for ASDF!! My son was selected for the iPad!! We downloaded an app to help him communicate with us and some educational games that he loves!! We are appreciate ASDF SO much!!!

ASDF helped my boy out so much, he relies on his electronics to help him self regulate his emotions and keep himself focused and calm, this iPad is going to help so much with all of that. I cannot thank ASDF enough for providing this for him from generous donations by the public

We signed up for the monthly drawings on their website and received an Apple iPad from ASDF. This is extremely helpful and my son loves his iPad. It helps with his learning and communication. He’s been using it since we received it and he’s starting to verbally communicate more which is great. We really appreciate ASDF and their program to help support those on the spectrum.

I want to sincerely thank you for donating a tablet to my 5-year-old daughter, who has a speech delay. This generous gift means more than words can express. The tablet has become a valuable tool in her learning and communication journey. It's helping her engage with educational apps and practice her speech in fun and interactive ways. We are so grateful for your kindness and support—this donation is truly making a difference in her development. Thank you for thinking of families like ours!

Our son got diagnosed a last year with level 2 autism. We received his iPad today and he is so happy! He is already using apps and is so excited ������

We received an iPad from ASDF to help our nonverbal daughter, and have already seen improvements in her interpersonal receptive and expressive communication. We sincerely appreciate the organization providing this device for us, as the app that she uses is only available on iOS devices. Thank you again!

My son was diagnosed with autism and ADHD about two years ago. We received an iPad recently from ASD foundation and it has helped him so much!! The iPad helps him regulate when he is overstimulated and to that point of no return with big feelings. It has helped him to sit still for important things like drs appointments and therapy drives. He recently had a tonsillectomy and his iPad kept him calm the entire time. I am very grateful to have received it!!

We received a iPad for our nonverbal son and it’s been such a blessing for us he can now communicate with us using a app plus it helps him with regulating in stressed environments

Thank you to the Autism Spectrum Disorder Foundation, Inc. for the incredibly generous gift of the iPad. It has been truly transformative for my 7-year-old, who has autism. The interactive educational apps have helped him develop his communication skills and focus in ways we hadn't seen before, and the visual learning tools have made complex concepts much more accessible. We are so grateful for your kindness and the positive impact this gift has had on his learning journey.

My son loves the iPad. This is amazing he was so excited and he loves looking at planets and playing games on it!

Thank you so much for the iPad. My son Ezra really likes it. We have been able to use that as a tool for him to communicate. Thank you for this opportunity we really appreciate it!

My daughter is 4 years old non verbal and received an iPad to help her we are so blessed to have received one! This has helped me to help her we’re thankful

I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to your foundation for the incredibly generous gift of an iPad for my child. The opportunities this device has opened up for him are truly endless. It has brought him so much excitement, support, and encouragement on his learning and communication journey. We have already seen positive progress, and we are beyond thankful for the impact this has had on his development. Your kindness has made a world of difference in our lives, and we are so grateful for your support. Thank you for making such a meaningful difference!

I want to express my heartfelt appreciation to ASDF for providing my daughter with a refurbished Apple iPad. This generous gift will make a significant difference in her life, helping her develop her language skills while also keeping her engaged when I’m busy with household tasks or errands.
Its a vital tool for communication, learning, and sensory engagement. The interactive apps and visual supports will help her improve language development. ASDF’s kindness and dedication to helping children on the spectrum is truly inspiring, and I’m beyond grateful for their support. Thank you for making a meaningful impact in our lives!

From that bottom of my heart, I would like to thank ASDF for the donation of the IPad for my son, who is autistic. We’ve been trying to find new ways to communicate besides sign language. I’ve been doing research on using a communication app that shows pictures of basic things that a child may want. It even allows the child to communicate how they’re feeling. With this IPad, we were able to download the app and got started using it right away!

Dear ASDF Team,

I want to express my deepest gratitude for the incredible gift of an iPad for our son. As parents of a nonverbal autistic hild, we have long searched for an effective communication device to help him express his thoughts and needs. However, the cost of such devices has always been a challenge for our family.

Thanks to your generosity, our son now has a powerful tool that will give him a voice.
Already, we are seeing the difference this iPad is making in his ability to engage with us and the world around him. This device will open up new opportunities for learning, connection, and independence
—things we have dreamed of for him.

Your kindness and the work you do for families like ours mean more than words can express.

Thank you for making such a profound impact on our son's life and giving him a chance to communicate in ways we never thought possible.

With heartfelt appreciation,
Agita Papule

I want to thank the ASFD my babies are both nonverbal and they were gifted an iPad! They will use it to communicate I am so thankful for this organization!!!

My daughter has severe language and speech delays. We reached out to ASDF and were one of the lucky families that were picked to receive an IPAD. Now she will have a way to communicate. It only took 2 days to arrive. Ken was a pleasure to work with. I will be telling all my special needs moms about this foundation.
Thanks again!!!!

My daughter received a iPad.Im so excited I can download autistic games and books. We appreciate it so much I can find more resources for her thanks so much. Cheterra Tyree Cleveland Ohio

I have a 4-year-old daughter, and she received a holiday gift card thanks so much!!!

Wonderful foundation. Thank you for helping so many by providing support and information.

I received the ipad for my daughter this week. so thankful to all the people who donated. the tablet can be very helpful for my daughter with ASD and speech delays because it can act as a communication device through apps that allow her to select pictures or symbols to express their needs, leveraging visual learning strengths and bridging the communication gap. this can potentially encourage speech development by providing a consistent visual representation of words and phrases, which is often beneficial for children with ASD.

Thank you so much for giving the iPad to my son. He’s incredibly excited and grateful for the gift. It means a lot to us, and I’m sure he’ll make the most of it for learning and entertainment. Your kindness is deeply appreciated by our family ! Feels like humanity is still alive . God bless you guys !

I learned about ASDF through an Instagram page for a family with an autistic son. The mother is very helpful in leaving information about organizations that can provide services or tools to help autistic children. She mentioned Autism Spectrum Disorder Foundation INC. I was so grateful to come across this organization. I learned they provide Ipads for autistic children and my son who is nonverbal was able to use the one sent to us for alternative communication purposes. It also helps us to keep him entertained or distracted during uncomfortable situations. I will never be able to thank this organization enough for giving us assistance. Our son loves his Ipad and he is using it in school to try and communicate his needs to his teachers and school staff.

Hello my name is Leola and I want to thank you ASDF for sending my 6 year old none verbal daughter a ipad. We received it by ups on Friday afternoon. My little Auesome baby girl name is Miracle and she loves tablets. We have gone through several android tablets within 1 year because they broke easily. With the ipad she is learning alot more and I feel that it is easier for her to use. Thank you all again for this opportunity. We greatly appreciate it. I have already recommended ASDF to others who child(ren) are diagnosed with Autism as well as other disabilities.

Thank to asdf! My daughter has autism she is non verbal. We use a lot of electronic devices throughout the years trying to communicate as well as calm her at times. During times she has damaged or broken devices and sometime money is hard to come by when you're buying things constantly. She just received a communication tablet for Christmas which due to melt downs was broken, unfortunately we did not have money to replace it right away. However, thanks to asdf we were able to recieve a free IPAD for her and we couldn't be more grateful. Thank you all for what you do it's truly amazing. This iPad will make a tremendous contribution towards her communication and virtual learning sessions.

Good morning, my name is Araly Jose. I would like to thank the AUSTIM SPECTRUM DISORDER FOUNDATION for donating their tables to my children. It was truly surprising to receive it and see the joy on my children's faces. I feel very grateful to be one of the chosen ones. I feel very grateful and the children also feel extremely happy. Thank you very much ASDF.

Our son is 4 diagnosed with asd and global developmental delay. This iPad will help him explore learning in a different way and we are excited to see how this helps him learn. Thank you guys so much for all that you do!

Start number your paper zero at lect right top on idea planning for first blank page like a computer... you start at zero input on writing until you start typing... then it becomes almost one at the end of available space when no more can be placed for words or works do be done, then eight before you got to another page the bottom right corner of the one your fishing up is 1/2 and one is the next whole page ... so zero , 1/2 , 1, 1 1/2 , 2 , 2 1/2 , 3 and continue onward 508119914

ASDF sent me and IPad right at the point when my nonverbal 8 year olds iPad was on its last leg and unable to fix. We appreciate the generosity and donations of those who support this foundation. We are truly grateful

ASDF sent me a free iPad for my level 3 autistic daughter. We are using it as an AAC device. Without there help we wouldn’t be able to start the process of having our daughter communicate with us. We are grateful for ASDF!

Our story starts with a wonderful boy named jaiden my 2 year old non verbal son who has been newly diagnosed with autism. He was so surprised when his I pad came a few days ago he could hardly wait for it to charge to get it on. We as a family are so grateful for wonderful programs like this to give him a chance to communicate and express himself. I can’t thank you enough!!!

To ASDF thank you so much for sending my child this iPad he was so excited when I had presented to him!!!! This will help him more to explore his love for music. He can now access a few music apps that he has not been able to do through regular computers!!! You guys just don’t know how much this means not only to him, but to me it’s the little things and the love and care that other people have for one another that has made this possible!!! I am so glad and thankful for this organization. Please continue in helping others such as myself who are needing support.

ASDF helped provide a much needed ipad for my daughter Sofia who is affected by autism. This ipad helps augment her communication and learning through various apps. Thank you to all the donors who support this wonderful foundation in their work to support families and children affected by autism. With gratitude Miguel Corral.

Children's well-being has always been a cause close to my heart. I firmly believe they are the foundation of our society and shape its future. Supporting charities that focus on children's betterment has always been a priority for me. However, after recently being diagnosed with autism as an adult, I've realized there's a significant gap in services and support for individuals like myself. While I appreciate the work being done for children in general, I sincerely hope that more attention and resources will be directed towards supporting autistic individuals of all ages

I highly recommend the autism spectrum disorder foundation and the programs and services that they offer for individuals and families with autism.

Hi My name is Adam Farris I am the Founder and President of Younique Abilities and I don’t think of myself as disabled because I have been able to accomplish so much. Maybe none of us are really “disabled,” maybe we are all just different people with unique abilities. The world needs to understand that all of us are alike.
Hello, my name is Adam. I was diagnosed with Tourette syndrome in 1994 at the age of six. Later, in July 2012, I was diagnosed with a form of autism called pervasive developmental disorder. As a child, I didn’t understand Tourette’s syndrome and would ask myself, “What it that?” My conditions were confusing and frustrating, but they were also illuminating and life-shaping.
I share my story in the hopes that people with so-called disabilities will read it and realize that they, too, can achieve great things. My father brought me up to advocate for myself. He took me to public places like the movie theaters, and out to dinner or lunch at restaurants. I would have tics, involuntary sounds and movements that I can’t control, which are the most noticeable symptom of Tourette’s syndrome.
In the past, my tics took the form of loud hooting and shouting noises. It kind of hurt to go into a restaurant or any quiet place and have an outbreak of tics and know that people were staring at me. They made comments. But, when that happened, my father taught me to talk to them about Tourette’s syndrome and help them understand that I am just like anyone one else with the ability to do anything anybody else can. That is what made me into the man I am today.
I went to the Monarch School from 2001-2006, where I gained confidence in myself. When I was in woodworking class, I asked my teacher if I could get on a saw. He said I could try it out. So I got on a saw that made very precise lines, and my hands stopped shaking all together. I realized then that if I could do this, I could do anything.
Because of my autism, I basically had no friends and was getting kicked out of places left and right. My social skills were so bad that I could not keep a job. I couldn’t stay in a restaurant or a business without being barred. When I was diagnosed with autism in 2012, I had the chance to move to North Carolina and went to a transitional living program. There, I learned to have much better social skills and worked on my life skills.
I am still trying to learn to be independent, and one day that will happen. Look at me now. See how far I have come from 2012 to 2016. Some people might say that’s a long time; I say that’s just a short time. Now I do have friends, I do have a job, and I can stay in a business or restaurant as long as I want to. For over four years, I have maintained a job at Walmart. I thank my family and friends for all that they do for me.
I don’t think of myself as disabled because I have been able to accomplish so much. Maybe none of us are really “disabled,” maybe we are all just different people with unique abilities. The world needs to understand that all of us are alike.

The gift card helped me buy sensory toys for my autistic 4 year old who was also just diagnosed with ADHD. It was a HUGE blessing as funds were nonexistent for Christmas until i received this gift card, thank you so much!

I would like to thank ASDF for helping our family during a difficult time. Receiving help during this holiday season has helped our family so much and we are forever grateful! Our daughter will be so excited to open her gifts that meets her sensory needs thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

My experience was nothing short of amazing. The process was easy and we enjoyed the services they provided us with. Thank you so much to this foundation and everything they do. The gift was much appreciated.

My five year old was diagnosed with level 3 autism and I've been struggling to get him everything he needs. Between all of his therapies there wasn't a lot left over for Christmas. I really appreciate Autism Spectrum Order Foundation helping me out this year! Thank y'all so much for helping make Shepherd's Christmas special. ❤️

I was told about this program from my sons ABA therapy and applied for an Ipad as his was down to only lasting about an hour a day and was cracked. I was shocked when I saw it arrived a couple weeks ago! My son is now going to have a fresh battery non cracked Ipad to enjoy during Christmas day when he is overwhelmed and just wants to go to his happy place. I am beyond grateful for programs like this as Ipads are not cheap and this is such a blessing.

This foundation is a amazing foundation that has made my son who is 4 years old dreams come true for the last two years with the holiday gift card they have given him.As a single mother this foundation has helped me in so many ways from giving my son a iPad to help him learn to speak I'm so grateful and thankful for this foundation. THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU DO.

They have really been a life saver for us and just in time for Christmas, with two kids on the spectrum we where so lucky to have received an iPad. We are so very thankful for this program. Thank you so much!

I currently have custody of my nephew on the spectrum and it has been a difficult journey. The ASDF gifted us this IPad we had been on the waiting list for a little bit and we are just eternally grateful for this gift. He uses his ipad everyday and loves it so much. we had one previous to this and the screen was completely cracked and no longer functional. Receiving this ipad changed our lives. Thank you so much!!!

They sent my son an iPad so he is able to learn to be self sufficient and learn how to interact with other and play games and learn to communicate better thanks so much

Our daughter has never had it easy. She was terminally ill as a child and also has numerous disabilities including ASD, anxiety, OCD, ADHD, PTSD, Leukodystrophy, and Hashimoto's disease. We truly appreciate the generous donation of the IPAD which allows our daughter to Facetime friends and family members. She also uses it to listen to novels assigned in school and to enjoy downtime.
Every parent knows the financial strain of providing their child with the necessary therapies and medical treatments needed. By providing this gift, your foundation also gave us peace of mind knowing that this
was taken care of.

I must really thank this organization for their swift reply and also selecting my son out of thousands of parents who applied. We are truly grateful words cannot expect how happy we are and how we will take great care of this tablet and use it only for educational purposes to help our son move forward.

We are so grateful for this gift of the iPad from ASDF, it has opened up a new world for my 6 year old. It helps him and me so much as we go about our daily activities in the home and outside the home. Thank you so much ASDF.

I am so grateful for this opportunity. My daughter is non-verbal, and the only way i try to help her communicate with me is by drawing out pictures. I am a stay at home mom , currently unemployed and couldn't afford to get her any type of tablet. But i am very grateful and excited , hopefully this will help ours communication get easier.

I have a 7 year old autistic child and he was awarded the iPad. We are forever grateful to you all for this as this has allowed me to download learning apps that he can interact with such as Starfall, ABS Mouse, Reading Eggs, and Kids YouTube! I cannot thank you all enough for your generosity, it is forever appreciated!

Hello
My name is Cambriah. Im sooo appreciative of this ipad for my son. He’s loving it! He’s having a ball playing his puzzles & doing his little activities. He no longer wants my phone������. Thank you so much!

Dear Autism Spectrum Disorder Foundation,

We are deeply grateful for the generous grant that provided our son with an iPad. As a six-year-old with autism, he faces unique challenges, and this device will be instrumental in his communication and learning.

Your support not only enriches his daily life but also brings us hope for his continued growth and development. Thank you for making a meaningful difference in our lives.

With heartfelt appreciation,
Marizon Coufal

My daughter has autism and she loves her iPad that she received! It’s in wonderful condition and it was such a blessing to our family. The application process was quick and easy as well.

Thank you guys for the IPad! You know you sign up for things and you think your not going to get it. No way right? Well my son received his iPad and it is so helpful with the autism games and learning apps we have downloaded on the iPad! We are very grateful. This is such a blessing! Thank you!

Thank you for helping my little man , this been helping him tremendously!

My 4 year old Konnor received an iPad from this organization and it has been a complete game changer. I downloaded apps to help my non verbal autistic son communicate and he’s now able to count 1 through 7 and identify numbers 1 through 5. Thank you for all that you do! My family and I are very appreciative.

ASDF (Autism Spectrum Disorder Foundation) has truly transformed our lives by providing my son, who has autism, with an iPad. The device has opened up new ways for him to communicate, learn, and engage with the world around him. Through educational apps and interactive tools, he is now able to express himself more clearly, connect with others, and develop new skills that were once challenging. This gift has brought our family immense joy and hope, and we are deeply grateful to ASDF for their generosity and support.

Thank You ASDF for providing my son Isaiah with his Ipad that he is able to use to communicate with others! We are very appreciative.

My son was diagnosed with Autism and the Ipad will help him improve with his speech and with his communication with us. I want to express my gratitude and appreciation for the donation we have received. It is very important for me to express my gratitude because I know that behind each donation, there is a person or group of people who really care about our cause. God bless you all.

This Ipad has helped my son with his speech improve.

ASDF helped my family by donating a much needed iPad to help my daughter stay regulated and access technology programs that help her communicate and learn new words. Thank you ASDF! ♥️♥️♥️

My little was chosen for an iPad and this will help so much with helping him learn and communicate. As an android household due to the price we were limited on apps to help because most are apple based apps. He refuses sign language and we introduced it to him around a year and he's 4 now. We are looking forward to being able to help him progress with the help of this ipad. Thank you so much

My son received a free iPad. Thank you so much. He is autistic and the iPad will help him a lot. Thank you.

We received our iPAD today and are overjoyed! A welcome addition for our child to provide another tool in this journey. A very special thank you to ASDF for this generous gift. Thank you

I am very thankful for the foundation gifting my child the ipad it has been a very challenging financial year
this ipad will be very useful for him. again thank you to the foundation

I received an Ipad for my daughter Kaylyn. I had been applying in hopes to receive one to help her with communication. We weren't able to afford one recently. I was pleasantly surprised and forever grateful when an unexpected package came. This has truly been a gift for her and our family!!!!

I recently became unemployed and came across this resource online. I applied not thinking we would receive an iPad. We received it this past weekend just in time for the beginning of the school year. We are grateful for Autism Spectrum Disorder Foundation for the opportunity. My son is 9 years old and was diagnosed when he was 3 years old. This iPad came at the perfect time! Thank you!

I applied for an iPad for my son with no expectations of receiving one at all as I know there must be thousands of requests. To my surprise we came home to a package and it was the iPad. No amount of words can express how appreciative and grateful we are for this amazing opportunity given to us. We are in really hard times financially and this will truly be a major help to us but mainly my son. Thank you so much again and thank you for helping families with this. Forever grateful for this gift to my son.

We thank The Autism Spectrum Disorder Foundation for this iPad . It has help with delay speech in our 5 year old child we have gotten a chance to download useful speech apps to help him tell use what he needs. Than you sooo much the Hull Family!!!

I'm so grateful that my son received a iPad he need it so badly we could not afford it we so grateful thank you all so much

Received the ipad for my autistic daughter and it def exceeded my expectations. I'm so happy I found out about this organization. My daughter being level 3 and nonverbal it's been a blessing to receive the ipad for her.

My Autism Spectrum Disorder Foundation, Inc. is truly a nonprofit, who cares about the social and emotional well-being of children with Autism. My son, Alix, received a summer scholarship, which allows him to attend BenSax Music Academy. The scholarship allows him to receive lessons from classically trained musicians and interact with children. Without this scholarship, Alix wouldn't be able to work on his social and developmental skills. With music, he's more prone to interact with his peers. He wouldn't have this opportunity, without the financial support, from the Autism And Disorder Foundation, Inc. We are truly grateful and appreciative of the nonprofits generosity.

Thank you so much. Car rides go much smoother and today Elena had to have surgery and the iPad helped so much. She’s using it to help learn to read and communicate better.

I am so grateful for this organization. My son received an ipad that we desperately needed for his speech program. I am looking forward to seeing and hearing his speech progress. Thank you ASDF!

I am writing this on behalf of my family, whom all have autism. We are very grateful to have had the opportunity to be awarded a IPad. Living on limited funding puts restrictions on certain things that are extremely beneficial for children with disabilities. We are all visual learners so the IPad helps tremendously with being able to access resources that we otherwise wouldn't have been able too. Thank you so much for this wonderful gift and may God Bless you the way you've blessed others.

We are so grateful to have received a tablet for my son!! It has helped so much especially in public spaces where he can become more anxious with the sounds and people around him. He is able to focus on drawing or playing a game, and remain calm. Thank you so much!

I came across this organization and I was really in need of help I have 2 kids with autism and they love using tablets for their learning games. I forgot I had filled something out and then I got a box in the mail it had an iPad with the charger . I started crying because I couldn’t get it financially it’s been hard . My boys are so happy with it . I really want to say thank you so much for helping me make sure my kids got a tablet .

thank you for the iPad! I now am able to offer my son a few minutes a day of screen time so he can have a "calming time" throughout the day. we have loaded some educational games and fun ones too. He really loves it!

After many intents looking for economic help, I almost gave up on the intent. Here in NY, many organizations help us with information and ways to help families with autistic kids, I found services such as training, socialization, and entertainment to involve my kid and try to push him as much as possible to have a typical life. However, when it was time to pay for extracurricular learning classes I did not find any. One night I was so worried that I would not be able to pay for technological classes which I saw he was interested in. The cost of the tuition is very high for me to afford it. I started googling on the web and the name of this organization caught my attention, a little doubtful I wrote a message to this wonderful god heart gentleman Michael Slutsky thinking that this would also be another email that never would be answered. To my surprise, I had quick feedback from him telling me when to apply for funds and also inviting me to read and learn more about the organization. Soon my son started to receive grants to study technology classes every summer with the economic help received and for me, it was a miracle come true. My son is absolutely the happiest kid in the world when he knows that he will be attending summer camp at Adelphi University facilities where he engages with tutors and other kids in an educational environment.
The gift we receive makes a great impact on our lives. Matthew is engaged in learning technology, and I am less stressed thinking that I cannot provide for him. There are no words to express how thankful am I for the commitment that the ASDF has for the Autistic community and their families. This commitment is truly inspiring.

Matthew's mom.

I am writing to extend our heartfelt gratitude for the generous gift of an iPad for our son from ASDF. Your support is instrumental as it will enable us to continue our mission of finding ways our son can communicate with us.

With this contribution, we will be able to ensure we set him up for success to understand his needs . Your gift will make a significant impact on the lives of individuals with autism and their families like ours, by providing them with access to Technology.

Your commitment to supporting the autism community is truly inspiring. We are deeply appreciative of your trust and investment in our communities.

Thank you once again for your Generosity.
With gratitude,

Received a FREE I pad for my son who has ASD and ADHD and this has helped my son with regulating and focusing. I pads are really expensive and when your child who has a disability like ASD and needs one to help self regulate, I am so ever grateful for ASD foundation to step in an assist in such a huge way!

Thank you so much for donating an Ipad to my daughter. This means the world to us.

I wanted to take a moment to express how much the Apple iPad we got for De Marius has positively impacted our family. Since receiving the iPad, our daily routines and activities have been greatly enhanced.

One significant way the iPad has helped is by improving De Marius's learning experience. The educational apps and resources available on the iPad have made learning more interactive and engaging for him. He has shown a keen interest in exploring new subjects and has even started to excel in some areas that he found challenging before.

Moreover, the iPad has also facilitated better communication within our family. We use it to share important reminders, schedules, and even to stay connected with relatives who live far away. It has become a central tool for us to stay organized and connected in our busy lives.

In addition to its educational and communication benefits, the iPad has also provided entertainment and relaxation for all of us. Whether we are watching movies together, playing games, or simply browsing the internet, the iPad has become a source of enjoyment and relaxation for the whole family.

Overall, the Apple iPad for De Marius has truly been a valuable addition to our family, bringing us closer together and enhancing our daily lives in numerous ways. We are grateful for the positive impact it has had on all of us.

Thank you for considering our family for this wonderful gift.

Warm regards,

Dimmitress Lawrence

It was a blessing to recieve an IPad for my three year old son Ryan. He was diagnosed with Autism and being blessed with an IPad will help provide an additional educational benefit. As a parent being on this journey with him, we learn to appreciate the small victories and now with an IPad to help him focus. I know he will be able to accomplish many more abilities.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts ASDF for supplying my son with an iPad. This has impacted us greatly because right now we can’t afford to accommodate this area of his needs. So in that a stressor has been taken off my shoulders.
One may think devices aren’t a need, but in an evolving world, heavily relying on technology, the iPad helps him communicate and learn. He’s a visual learner and this aids him so much. Thank you so much again, for all that you do for families and kiddos such as mine!

I want to give a huge thank you to ASDF for supplying my son with an IPAD.
we already have so many awesome ideas for educational apps that he loves.
It is so amazing to have those who care so much about children with special needs.

Thank you so much ASDF for gifting my child with an iPad! We are greatly appreciative, and she’s putting it to good use! She’s able to work on her math and comprehension goals anywhere with ease. You all are a blessing!

Its great being friends with other parents of Autistic children- we get to share ideas, solutions and resources to name a few things. My friend, Angela, forwarded an email about swim lesson for children on the spectrum. We live in Florida so being able to swim is a must with all the pools and bodies of water everywhere. My son had just turned 4 at the time, so I jumped on this chance. I emailed this Foundation and their response was timely and positive. The process of getting the funds was seamless! I also liked that we could pick our own location for the lessons- this made it very convenient.

We, as his parents were able to piggyback off of what he learned to continue helping him get more comfortable and confident in the water. That was last summer. We took him to the pool again for the first time this year and he was even more confident!

Thank you so much for this opportunity! Thank goodness for ASDF, Inc!

We were truly amazed to receive our ipad for our daughter. She had no idea I put in to get one for her and it just made her whole week. So far she is enjoying learning more on the things she was behind in and learning some more about her emotions as they have so many apps out now for children with needs like her own. We want to thank everyone who has contributed to make this happen. Programs like this after hearing and going through so much with a child with Autism just makes my heart fill with joy knowing people truly do care. Thank you again.

My 3-year-old granddaughter has been diagnosed with Autism. The schools she attends suggested she get an iPad to help with her communication and they could download apps so that she can learn a different way to speak using the iPad. I was told to contact the ASDF because they were known for helping children with Autism by sending them an iPad. I filled out the paperwork ASDF requested, and they sent my granddaughter an iPad. I am so grateful to them for their help, and I know this will help her immensely.

Again, thank you ASDF for helping my granddaughter!! CW & TW

I applied for a tablet for my 4yo son who has ASD and to our surprise, we received it today. I absolutely cannot thank ASDF enough for providing us with this tool that will allow my son to learn and communicate, especially with him entering kindergarten later this year. This was such a blessing and I pray that this nonprofit organization is able to keep being a blessing to many more families. Thank you ASDF!

I wanted to express my heartfelt gratitude for the Apple iPad that I have received for my daughter, Kaylee. Kaylee is 4 years old and was diagnosed with ASD at 2.5 years old. She has struggled to communicate with others. She had no interest in electronics and so she could not use the iPad when she first got it. Now Kaylee has learned to use it by herself. She enjoys the educational apps that I downloaded for her. I can say that she has been saying new words and her receptive language has improved a bit.

Sincerely
Kerline

This charity is not an effective charity working on supporting families with autism. Instead, it siphons off donations to fund their marketing campaigns and gives a few kids I-pads. There are much better charities out there.

Such a helpful organization!! They helped my kids over the holidays when we really needed it.

thank you so much for the tablet for my son henry. we were so. surprised to come home and see the box. :-)

I just received the iPad for my son.. Thank you so much asdf

My granddaughter says thank you what a blessing she can use for school

Both my girls ages 3 & 4 received an IPad Air 2, we were able to gift them for Christmas and it has total changed the atmosphere in our household. It has given them both confidence even has given my 3 year old a voice (non verbal). We have downloaded a speech app as well as many different learning games which she has flourished even repeating some of the words she hears. We also are having less meltdowns on who is watching what on TV because everyone has their own little screen where they are in control. These IPads have impacted mom life as well as now I’m able to cook, clean, or do general house chores with “tablet time” with little to no meltdowns or behaviors. Our family is so grateful for this nonprofit and all of the families that donate for such a special cause. We can not thank everyone enough.

Our 11 year old son who is on the Autism Spectrum is absolutely loving the iPad you sent us! It is indispensable for his therapy, school, and of course fun time.

My son is 3 and non verbal. After his evaluation and speech therapy we were told to try a speech device. With that is the cost of the program and of course an iPad. I found ASDF and was THRILLED we were able to get an iPad. My son has been able to communicate with us how he never has before. He asks for things, tells us what he wants and can show feelings all through the iPad with speech program proloquo. This has been amazing, helpful and so good to see!!

asdf is such an amazing foundation, they are so kind and supportive as well as generous, their kindness helped my family obtain an ipad, which will help so much in our daily lives, between making appointments smoother and communication easier. Thank you so much to the autism spectrum disorder foundation for their support of those in their community.

It's an honor and blessing to receive such a wonderful gift for my son. He was so happy when he laid eyes on his new iPad! For everything is so expensive now that getting things to help him get through the day is so pricey. I really appreciate it! Thank you! May God Bless You!

Today my son received an iPad from ASDF. I don’t even think there are words to explain what it means for us but I will try. Watching my son struggle to communicate outside of a classroom/therapy without it is so hard. Having a device he can use to communicate anywhere will enhance the quality of his daily life and allow him a voice. My son also has a chronic illness with no cure and struggles to communicate his discomfort when it strikes. I truly am grateful that he will be able to communicate his discomfort sooner instead of resorting to behaviors to have his needs met. Thank so much!!!

We are so happy that our son received an iPad from ASDF. He loves to draw and sing. The educational apps help him so much. I'm so glad I stumbled across it and signed him up. We can't financially provide one for him. Thank you so much.

My daughter who has Autism was selected to receive an iPad. The gift of the device took the financial burden away. We are now able to incorporate her iPad within her therapy sessions and have seen so much progress. My family is so thankful for ASDF and the work that they do.

Thank you, ASDF Your generous gift card has brought immense joy to our household, especially to my daughter, who is autistic. The gesture touched our hearts in ways that words can hardly capture. Your kindness and consideration have not only made her Christmas special but have also demonstrated the beauty of compassion and understanding.

For my daughter, navigating the world can sometimes be challenging, but your gift has been a source of happiness that transcends those challenges. The flexibility of a gift card allows us to choose items that cater to her unique interests and preferences, ensuring that the present is not just a material possession but a tailored experience.

Thank you so much ASDF!!!! The Ipad will help my son in so many ways. He is autistic non- verbal. Thanks to ASDF he will now be able to work on his speech at home by downloading speech apps! Thank you again!

I came across Autism Spectrum Disorder Foundation by accident and I'm so glad that I did! Tyler is my baby and he's the absolute best kid ever! He lights up the room with his smile and he makes my heart melt with his smile. He's nonverbal, but he has proven to us that love has no words. he's one of the most loveable humans that I've ever came across in my entire life. So full of life and so full of joy. Tyler has a few favorite things: Peppa Pig, Elmo and his iPad. Out of those three things, his iPad is his absolute favorite. So, when I found this website, I signed him up for a free iPad. Once I received it, I set it up and downloaded some educational apps on there and some fun apps as well. You should've seen Tyler's eyes light up when I first gave it to him! He was over the moon happy! I want to thank ASDF for their generosity and for putting that beautiful smile on my son's face. I'm so grateful for you guys. :-)

I have a son with Autism that experiences challenges with communication. We have our share or expenses with providing care for him and found out how an iPad can be utilized to help my son with communication and education needs. An iPad was a little outside of our budget to provide and I found out about ASDF and how they help families. Well ASDF blessed my son with an iPad and contribute to opportunities that will enhance my sons life. I am so appreciative of the work they do to help families impacted by Autism.

Organizations like ASDF restore hope in a world filled with destruction and pain. Thank you for this wonderful gesture. Your donation of the iPad is a gift that could not be more appreciated especially during the holiday season. As an Autism family, we struggle to obtain resources to support our daughter and her continuous therapy. It adds a level of stress and anxiety that is indescribable but this was wonderful surprise gave us joy. My daughter was so excited and immediately ran to turn it on. We are so thankful.

I’m so grateful for the iPad my son received from ASFD. He tends to have difficulty with change and being able to download an app that helps him visually see his schedule has been very helpful. He has also been able to use many of the learning apps to help with his coordination and handwriting. Love it.

I don't know where my son would be communication wise if it wasn't for the help you provided. I received the iPad just in time for him to learn how to use it. Before he used to communicate by grunting or screaming and pointing. I have downloaded the app lamp and he mastered how to use it so he can now communicate by showing me on the iPad what he needs. Not only did his communication improve because of your help but his stress was removed from him as well as we not understand what he is trying to tell us. Thank you so much, I don't know how else to express our gratitude. You are a god send. I thank you again. God bless

We're so grateful for ASDF and their generosity to my son Zion. This is my second year getting support for my autistic son's Christmas. As a single mom with low income, I have found it so difficult during the holidays trying to pay bills and fund a good Christmas for my son. ASDF awarded my son with a 100 Walmart gift card last Christmas and this year awarded him an iPad. It's such a blessing for this nonprofit to offer this program for autistic children. The application process was simple. This is truly a blessing. Thanks again. I will spread the word so others can benefit and or donate to this beautiful program.

What an amazing surprise! We received a very generous gift in the mail: an iPad for our daughter who is on the spectrum! This will be such a help for us as we teach and travel with her. We are very grateful. Thanks so much, ASDF!

Thank you for supporting my toddler at this time of year. It has been a very challenging year and I appreciate this holiday gift card. Thank you to the wonderful staff and donors to help families and children on the spectrum.

Thank you so much! Helped my Autistic son with an iPad. This iPad helped my son communicate with others effectively. My son is able to improve on his reading skills with learning apps! Thank you! A++

ASDF helped our family by providing my son with an IPad, I recently pulled my 2 special needs children out of public school and needed them to have certain electronics for the programs I'll be using for their homeschooling. I'll forever be grateful for this foundation!

ASDF gifted my son an iPAD. The ipad allows my son to have words when he would not otherwise. It has been a lifechanger!

My ASDF has provided my two boys Matt and Leo ages 11&10 with brand new mini iPads for Christmas. Both boys are moderate functioning on the spectrum and will get a lot of enjoyment and social skills simulation activities practice from these electronics with out anyone to judge them. They will benefit so much from these gifts and we greatly appreciate and value them. Thank you to all of you who donate to this wonderful organization, to those who volunteer, and to all of you that make this happen year after year. You’re all amazing and wonderful and may God bless you all. I will send pictures after Christmas of the boys with their mini iPads.

My family is so thankful and grateful for this organization! We are the recipient of funds put towards adaptive swim lessons which have helped our son tremendously. We would not have been able to expose him to this opportunity otherwise. It's a wonderful sensory experience for him on a weekly basis as well as a great life skill to have. Thank you!

My 3 yr daughter got diagnosed with Autism July 2023. She always enjoyed playing on my phone- listening to music and watching movies and most importantly her learning games! As I was trying to find as many resources as I could to do my best to help my daughter I came across this opportunity from asdf to sign up for the chance to get her an ipad all for herself! That is something I couldn’t afford but would love for her to have so I gave it a shot- I knew she would love it and benefit from it as well. Weeks later we got it in the mail! And we were so excited! She was so happy to be able to watch her shows and play her games! This is the beginning of a new journey for our family we are working through the ups and downs of autism with her. This was a blessing and we are so happy and thankful for the gift from asdf!

Today my son on the spectrum received his iPad from ASDF! This is huge for us because now his world can open up more to information that he can get from using this device. Thank you so much!

My 2 yr old autistic son loves his ipad. he’s applying what’s he’s learned in aba to match colors and shapes on different learning apps. Our goal is use language programs to help with his communication. I can not thank this organization enough for the joy you have brought to our family.

We have a little boy who is 7 years old who has autism, epilepsy and some additional medical complications. We were referred to ASDF for assistance with obtaining a communication device (iPad). We applied on October 2nd and we're granted a wonderful iPad for his use on November 15th!

This device will be life altering in communication, independence, and playtime for our child! Thank you so very much for the blessing!

ASDF is truly making a difference in the lives of children with autism. My family is a recipient of their iPad for Kids Program. The iPad is giving my son an opportunity to communicate with us and learn in a way that fits his needs. We are thankful that ASDF exists to serve the autism community.

I’m so thankful with tears of joy my 3 year old was provided a iPad for Christmas.I’m very thankful and happy and so is she thanks so much definitely made a difference.This iPad will help my baby out so much thanks so much ASDF.

My 6 year old autistic son received an iPad about 3 days ago and he is so happy! He loves doing activities on his own and immersing himself in his own little world of FUN. He’s already downloaded tons of learning games and has begun watching learning videos on numbers. I plan to install a speech communication app so he can express himself better. I could have never afforded an iPad on my own due to our limited income but thanks to ASDF, my son was able to get one and right around Christmas too! Thank you so much!

My husband and I are so blessed that our child was gifted an iPad from asdf. We are VERY thankful for organizations that make life easier for parents with kids who have special needs. Since my son is now in ABA therapy and I need to be his transportation, I could no longer stay in my career of teaching since it’s impossible to be in two places at once and the times overlapped. Therefore we are a family of four living on my husband’s $20 an hour income alone. We would have never been able to afford this iPad for our son. The iPad has significantly enriched his learning experience. Our son is high functioning and his memory is just amazing. His brain is like a sponge just soaking everything in. We paired the device with autism-friendly learning apps and it has become a valuable tool for communication and skill development. We are immensely grateful for the asdf’s support in enhancing our toddlers journey towards greater independence and connectivity.

We applied for an iPad as my son is completely non-verbal and i figured the learning apps and communication apps would be amazing to be able to use in the home. (he uses an ipad to play on at therapy) He's been so happy with it and already knows the thing better than i do. Hes pointing more and all around happy. Being a single mom is already tough and im so thankful this organization offered this to us to help us with the language barrier.

My 7yr old son not only is he Autistic he’s also hard of hearing and ASDF provided him with a iPad which will aide as a communication device for him to communicate effectively while at school so his peers and teacher are able to understand his wants and needs. If it weren’t for ASDF I’m not sure I would’ve been able to afford one at the moment I’m a single mother of 2 and my oldest is in his first year of college and I’m helping cover his tuition and I’m on a fixed income due to a severe back injury and lupus.

I am so happy that my child was gifted an iPad. My daughter loves it and she is able to learn with her tablet. I am very thankful for organizations that make life easier for parents with kids who have special needs.

Our family is so thankful for the provision of an IPad for our autistic toddler. The IPad has significantly enriched his learning experience. We paired the device with autism-friendly apps, and it has become a valuable tool for communication and skill development. We are immensely grateful for the asdf’s support in enhancing our toddlers journey towards greater independence and connectivity.

ASDF is an amazing organization. I discovered them while searching for resources for my daughter, who was recently diagnosed with autism. I was able to sign up for their iPad program, and they sent my daughter a free iPad! Thank you ASDF for giving my daughter the gift of communication!!

My nonverbal 4yr old daughter was diagnosed with ASD & we are overwhelmed with gratitude for this program! They were able to provide her with an iPad which will be a big help with her communication as previously we were using an app on my phone recommended by her speech therapist & now she is able to download it onto her tablet & take it everywhere with her! Again we cannot thank this group enough for helping further develop her communication skills. We are extremely blessed & forever grateful!

Our family is extremely grateful ASD foundation with helping supply our family with two IPads for our twins who both have ASD. These have benefited them greatly since we use a communication App on it for them to be able to communicate with us since they are non verbal.

WE ARE VERY THANKFUL! MY SON CAN WATCH videos, can repeat some of the words mentioned in the video to foster language skills. He can also point , and repeat the name of a color. We are planning to use to it to help with potty training as well. He will use many digital activities can be useful educational tools. We will start with questions that require a one-word answer or questions that merely require the child to point—you can work your way up to open-ended questions.

Thank you so much!!!!

Our family received an iPad for our son. He was diagnosed with ASD and mixed receptive-expressive language disorder. He has challenges expressing basic wants and needs at 5 years old. The ipad will be a communication device for him. We will be working with his teacher and speech therapist on his new ipad with AAC apps. This is a blessing for our family. Thank you so much ASD Foundation.
The Kuykendall Family

Hello Everyone,

I hope you're all doing well. I wanted to share a little about my life as a single father. My son, who is 3.5 years old, was recently diagnosed with mild autism, and I now have full custody of him. The journey has been filled with emotions, and I find myself breaking down often, especially when I witness different reactions from my child that may not align with what we might consider "normal."

My son is an incredible little soul, incredibly intelligent. He can read, paint, multiply numbers, and can even say numbers in reverse order from 1000. However, he struggles with speech, and this is where I find my heartache. As a single parent, I'm navigating these uncharted waters with no friends or family support, and the isolation can be overwhelming.

I've seen the beauty and brilliance in my child's eyes, and I'm in awe of his unique talents. Yet, it's tough not to be moved to tears when I long for the simple conversations that most parents take for granted. His silence can be deafening, and the feeling of helplessness can be crushing at times.

I'm reaching out to this community today in the hope of finding support, guidance, and understanding. I know there are parents out there who have been through similar experiences or can offer insights and advice. I'd love to hear from you, share your stories, and learn from your experiences.

I believe that as a collective, we can help one another navigate the challenges and celebrate the joys that come with raising children with unique abilities. Your words of encouragement and advice will mean the world to me, and I hope to create a network of support for not only myself but for other parents who may be going through a similar journey.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story, and I look forward to connecting with you all.

Warm regards,
Bhavik

ASDF provided IPad to my son who is Autistic, non verbal level 2. It helps him to communicate with his friends and family. It brings joy to him. Thank you so much for all your support!

If it wasn't for Autism Spectrum Disorder Foundation my daughter's holiday this year would've been a sad one. I'm no longer able to work full time due to all the services she has to receive, so money has been really tight. I received a Walmart gift card for her. I thank this foundation from the bottom of my heart for helping me put a smile on her face this holiday season!

This holiday season would have been a difficult one for us had we not found Autism Spectrum Disorder Foundation Inc. This organization has blessed us with a gift card from Walmart for our son for the holiday season. A true blessing this has been to us after losing my employment during Covid and having difficulties financially we have struggled since. Knowing this organization is there to help families like ours is a blessing. Thank you so much for all you do ASDF.

We got chosen for the holiday Walmart gift card and it helped out so much and we don’t have to stress about Christmas this year and we can relax and enjoy the holiday. Thank you so much!

This organization has truly been a blessing to our family. They have provided us with a holiday gift card so that we can give our son the special Christmas he deserves. I can't say enough wonderful things about this organization and the people who run it.

Thanks to the gift card this year our little sensory-seeking girl can get her wiggles out with the climbing dome she's now getting for Christmas this year! If you're reading this, know that the donations do make it to good people and their children.

Thsnk you for the gift card for my son for Christmas. With this card I can make sure he has a wonderful Christmas and get him the new imaginex batman joker toys and a bat man outfit

This organization is such a blessing they are so caring they blessed our son with a gift card for Christmas it will definitely bring him so much joy

This foundation is amazing! They don’t make you jump thru hoops to get help. Just a simple straightforward process. The gift card is a God sent for my family. Having a child with autism is hard, not to mention expensive. This helps take some of the burden off parents just trying to give their child with autism the best life possible. Thank you to all who make this possible!!!!

Thank you so much for the generous donation that is helping my son be able to participate in the social emotional learning lessons. My son struggles with big emotions and this program has helped him cope with his emotions. Thank you!

This organization was an absolute blessing to my family. We would not have been able to get my son more help without this program. I hope that people will donate because this is a life changer for so many people. Thank you!!

This foundation is great. Thanks to them my son has a iPad he can use to communicate. ❤️❤️

My family and I are so thankful that through the ASD Foundation, our twins were able to receive ipads. The twins are able to play educational , problem solving games and it is helping them tremendously with day to day activities and language skills. The process of getting the ipads was hassle free, I am glad that I found this foundation. 

We just moved from one state to a different one due to work changes. My daughter is 12 and she has autistic and adhd. It was a hard moving for her. She has always have trouble to make friend due to lacking social skills. Her birthday is coming soon and I was looking for some gift ideas inline and I accidentally found this website. I did not believe it is true but I saw all positive reviews. So I tried it and I got reply in two days. They confirmed my information and sent my daughter the ipad! I would support this organization in the future!

This ASD Foundation is a blessing to my family. Both Mr. Slutsky and Ms. Drexler are very kind and wonderful. My children with Autism are very happy and excited to have their refurbished iPads. We hope that more people can continue to donate money and support this ASD Foundation, so that children with Autism can continue to be able to learn and thrive with the iPads. Please kindly help donate money and support the ASD Foundation with more current iPads with the most current operating system, so that children with Autism can be able to download the most current applications to learn from it. Many children with Autism need help. We are very grateful for the people at ASD Foundation for their help and kindness. They help put a smile on a child’s face. May God bless Mr. Slutsky and Ms. Drexler, and everyone at the ASF Foundation.

Thanks to the generosity of strangers and this exemplary non profit, my son was able to receive an iPad to assist with learning and communication.

The process was very straight forward and communication was consistent from start to end.
This is an absolute blessing, the only thing I’ve ever applied for and I am still amazed that organizations such as this one are out there. My ASDf has changed our lives. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to each and every person who has made this possible.

Because of them my son is now able to communicate his needs to us, they provided us with a iPad and we use it for our non verbal autistic son and he is so happy now that he’s able to share with us his needs. We’re so grateful for this company! They’re truly a blessing to us

Thank you so much ! My son was just diagnosed with asd and its been rough . The iPad will help him so much with communication!

I am so thankful for ASDF. My 4 year old autistic son was given an IPAD which will be used to have less frustrations with communicating and to be able to independently watch his shows of interest that are educational. The process was not difficult and the representatives were easy to communicate with and responded quickly.

ASDF blessed my son - RJ with his own iPad. The process was not as stressful as other processes I've tried to apply in the past. By having this iPad, it will help him to strengthen his communication skills, and provide educational entertainment related to academics.

Thankyou so much to Michael slutsky who sent an ipad to my 5 y.o . He has communication disabilities and i want to try if this can help.him.convey better.
ASDF is a wonderful and much needed organization. The relief and joy that they bring year-round to families in communities is unmatched ! I am so happy to have get connected with an organization which have such a passion for the disability community and are making a difference for individuals and families. We are so grateful to be one of the families that have benefitted from this organization. THANKYOU SO MUCH

Our Son Luis just Received his first iPad this helped our son to communicate to us and his surroundings blessing to you and this organization thankful gracias from Mr and Mrs Ronald and Rosanna Dennis from Florida the sunshine state

ASDF is a wonderful organization. My son is autistic and non-verbal. ASDF helped us for his speech therapy help. Really appreciate ASDF for their wonderful help/support for my son. Thank you.

When I recieved the email from ASDF saying that they could help my son... I cried tears of joy. Their generosity will help my son attend an environment that will enable him to thrive. Words can't express how much we appreciate their kindness.

Thank you so much give us a iPad my son he's so happy thank you for helping us you don't know how much different you make my son life thank you so much God bless you for your help

I'm a single mother of two children and my 5 year old son was diagnosed with Autism last July. I have been searching for resources for him and came across this resource for an IPad. I sent an email inquiring about it, and within a week the IPad was delivered. My son was so excited, not only is he able to watch his favorite shows when we are out (he is easily over stimulated) but he is able to communicate his wants and needs.
Thank you so much for providing this to my son.

Thank you so much for the iPad I am a mother of two children who have severe autism and non verbal Abraham my son received his iPad and I was so excited when he received it I downloaded a learning app and he was holding the iPad in his hand I thought he was going to throw it he immediately started looking at It and listening to the abc and moving his fingers towards the letter I was so impressed for him being so severe i though he would just throw it that’s why I was next to him he like it so much I know this would benefit him in learning I thank you so much

The Autism Spectrum Disorder Foundation has positively impacted the financial ability for my two children to attend an inclusive Theraputic school. This school with accepts differently abled children in an inclusive environment serves the needs of children based on their individual need. The tuition rate for most families would be out of reach if it were not for financial donations from donors.

With out the support of the ASDF, and donation dollars, my children would have missed out on a school year of Theraputic based education due to a financial family hardship we are currently surviving through. As things get better for us, I plan on donating to give back to the ASDF for the love through financial giving shown to us.

Please consider donating to the ASDF! You could never conceive how your donated dollars literally change the lives of families in need with children on the Autism Spectum.

Blessing������������

My family received an iPad and it has helped my family tremendously! My son has Autism and we use the device for communication. He is able to tell us what he wants when he wants it. We don’t have to guess what he wants anymore. The iPad also helps when we are out visiting places or going to dr appointments it gives him something to do while waiting and/or transitioning. Thank you so much for what you do!

ASDF sent my autistic child an ipad for his communication and learning needs. This was the first true act of kindness that we have been given since our diagnosis 5 months ago and from the bottom of our hearts truly appreciate it. Since he received his ipad he has been nonstop learning colors and matching and it brings him so much joy. Thank you very much for this gift!

I am so grateful for ASDF and their iPad program. We were searching for different ways to help my son with social skills/regulation and this iPad (and the incredible aps available!) was just what we needed. With all the different expenses we have with two special needs children - the donation of the iPad was a lifesaver. Thank you so much!

We have been blessed by ASDF with their wonderful donation of an iPad for my son, whom is on the spectrum. Thank you, for your wonderful donation! The iPad has help make my son's life. He is able to use the iPad during his overwhelming moments to help calm him.

There are no words to say how thankful we are!
THANK YOU ASDF!

I love how simple they made the process. As a mother of two 6yo autistic twin boys, life is very hectic. I truly appreciate the simple and quick approval process and communications. Since the twins are not ready to attend school they have been using the iPads learning apps and engaging with all the activities the ipad has to offer. They use it to communicate and are so proud of themselves when they figure out how to navigate thru the apps. This is truly a blessing for them and we have ASDF to thank for this!

Sincerely a very happy mom,

Nina

I’m beyond thankful for this foundation and the iPad program! My Jordan is 2 and I am a single parent and his therapist recommended we get him an iPad to help him with his communication. I reached out to this foundation and explained to them my situation and they helped! We recently received our iPad! My son is learning to use a communication app now and I couldn’t have done this without them!

The ASD Foundation is Amazing! Thank you so much for making the dreams of horse camp available and accessible for my 10yr old daughter. She learned to care for the horses as well as saddle and ride. She worked on social skills, too, as she partnered with another child and took turns leading and riding. The camp helped develop a number of skills but was also really fun - something difficult to achieve in a traditional, clinical occupation therapy setting. To be completely honest, it was also a nice break as a parent knowing she was in good hands, doing positive things! We are so grateful for the opportunity and support! Thank you!

My 4 year old son has autism spectrum disorder!! My family searched for funding all over to make sure he could attend a school and summer program that could accommodate his needs . We reached out to ASDF and without hesitation they offered to help . We are so grateful ASDF could help us make this happen , they responded quickly and we were able to pay for my son’s tuition with their help !! This is such a great organization.
