Mission: The mission of the Booker Autism Foundation of Learning, Inc.® is to use the arts, education, and research to improve the culture and lifestyle of the Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) individual. We want to create an environment that makes it easier for people universally to connect, collaborate, and provide answers. All while raising public awareness about Autism Spectrum Disorders.
Results: Booker Autism Foundation of Learning, Inc.® strives to utilize the talents and skills of our volunteers and community partners when working with families that have loved ones on the Spectrum of Autism. We organize various FREE activities such as Organic Raw cooking and virtual class, arts and crafts, gardening, photography, and Christmas Dinner Boxes with toys and food for a family of four. We provide children who don’t have opportunities or the necessary resources an option to be a part of the "Art" world. Which, affords them the same exposure and encouragement that other children without special needs can be involved in. As of today, we have assisted over a thousand families.
