My Nonprofit Reviews

I'm grateful to have incredible support in my community for my son Andrew and other individuals with autism spectrum disorders. That's why I give back to elsforautism.com.

And while we are fortunate that the new Els Center of Excellence is right in our backyard in Jupiter, Florida, the Els for Autism Foundation realizes the need for outreach and sharing of information across the country, and across the world. They are developing a global digital platform to share best practices and are already helping individuals and their families in South America, Canada, Europe and Africa.

When Andrew was diagnosed with autism 15 years ago, we were 1 in 10,000 families who had received the devastating news. We didn’t know where to turn, and we spent the next three years driving to Miami, New Jersey, Maryland – anywhere we could find that might help our son. Today, 1 in 68 children are diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder, and over 3.5 million Americans and their families are struggling every day.

The Els for Autism Foundation is dedicated to helping connect the international autism community with best practices and the very latest information and research. I’m proud to be part of their community and that’s why I’ll be going to elsforautism.com on #givingtuesday to give back to an organization that has given our family so much.
