I would like to share with you the remarkable accomplishments that Autism Cares Foundation has achieved in the past year, as well as our exciting plans for next year. We could not have done it without the generous support of people like you.
This past year, thanks to the support of individuals like you, we were able to help over 800 of children, teens and adults living with autism and other intellectual disabilities in our community. Here are just a few of our accomplishments:
- Our leadership team grew to include experts/specialists in each of their fields. Kim Smith COO, Allison Maurer CEO ASD, Jennifer Leventhal PsyD Program Specialist and James Williams Director of Development.
- We increased our programing and will end the year hosting 150 social activities, including partnerships with Family Helping Farms, Joe Hand Boxing, Amid Yoga, and Rock the Spectrum.
- Personal Enrichment Program (PEP) was introduced. Participating adults get to learn through courses clubs and one-off activities about specific life skill and individual interest topics such as photography, meditation and movement, and dance.
Looking ahead to next year, we are eager to continue our work and make an even greater impact. Here are some of our key objectives for the year:
- We plan to continue to expand PEP to include courses, clubs and one-off activities such as cooking, personal finance, travel, and weekend night get togethers.
