Review for Autism Spectrum Disorder Foundation Inc, Schererville, IN, USA
Thank you so much for the support you give to our youth at our Y. What a joy to see the campers enjoy their time interacting with some of the other campers, swimming in our pool and creating pieces of art.
Nicholas loves coming to camp and swimming in the pool. His mother was so happy that he has been a part of our camp program for the past couple of years. She relates that he has gained confidence and has grown physically as well experience many fun times. Thank you to the Autism Spectrum Disorder Foundation for making this camp experience a reality in his life. Thank you to the Hobart Family YMCA for including youth of all abilities in your program.
Daniel has grown so much this summer and he loves his camp counselor. He comes home and is so animated about his experience." Let me tell you that is some accomplishment, because he does not communicate with many words on a daily basis." Thank you for helping children to experience summer camp.

Review for Autism Spectrum Disorder Foundation Inc, Schererville, IN, USA
The Hobart Family YMCA has been able to serve children who are on the spectrum ages 3 to 12 years in our summer day camp programs for the past two years because of the generous support from The Autism Spectrum Disorder Foundation. Without the support of this organization 20 campers (10 campers in preschool and school-age) would not have had the opportunity to come to camp. I'd like to share some of the comments made by parents of the campers we served. Orlando's mom writes: "Thank you for all the financial support you gave my son so he could participate in this wonderful day camp. He has made great strides in spite of his autism and I owe it to programs like yours and the YMCA which gave him the ability to lead a "normal" life. He does not want to miss going to camp. If he did not have this opportunity this summer to attend camp, he would have been at home not making any progress. Again. thank you from the bottom of our hearts." Alex's grandmother writes: "Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing the financial support so my special grandson could attend your excellent day camp program for the last two years. Alex has improved in his social and communication skills. He also made some new friends and enjoyed his art class. He was very happy and excited to go to camp each day. Again, thanks for the help that was given to him. I pray many people who can will donate to both of your organizations so many more children with and without disabilities can continue to receive financial support as well as social and emotional support." Jon and Mimi's mom writes this: "on what I thought was a whim is what I call Divine Order after calling the Hobart Y and speaking with Mrs. Sharon to inquire if there was sibling discount for the Preschool summer day camp program since I have two adopted special needs children both on the Autism Spectrum. What happened next exceeded my greatest expectation: I was told about the Autism Spectrum Disorder Foundation and the availability of them helping to cover the cost for both of my dear ones to attend day camp. I have seen so much progress with both of them. They have enjoyed each day of camp and it does a Mother good to see her children so happy. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being willing to support such excellent programs in our community. May God continue to bless your organization."

I can't think of a change, but would hope that the community would support this organization in a greater way. They need more donors who believe in their mission and story and the vital work they support. Kudos to the Autism Spectrum Disorder Foundation.
