About This Cause
ACT is Canada’s leading not-for-profit, specializing in providing families and professionals with free, practical, evidence-informed information and training resources to support those with autism and other diverse needs. In addition to developing our own resources, ACT provides an unrivaled information portal that responds to the diverse needs of our community across the lifespan, including the voices of adults, in multiple languages. ACT’s free online resources are continually renewed and are serving an increasing number of users. ACT’s approach and the resources we have built over a decade, with the help of so many in the autism/neurodiverse community, are not duplicated by government or other agencies. As a not-for-profit, led by a committed Board of Directors, ACT engages in the creative, cost-effective use of web-based technology, online information databases and social media, with the support of a network of experts who volunteer their time to provide resources for caregivers and community professionals. 20 years ago, reliable information and training for families and professionals on autism and related conditions were painfully scarce. The landscape has been transformed, ‘information’ is everywhere, but with millions of hits for a search for “autism”, many families are vulnerable to charlatans eager to take advantage of their confusion. ACT provides a vital non-commercial alternative to a random search – a portal to reputable online resources. What ACT provides cannot be duplicated by a government service. As a dynamic, community-based organization that respects families, self-advocates and professionals, ACT has earned the respect of the autism community. With your support we can continue this vital work and make it available to families across Canada and internationally.
