Mission Statement
The mission of the National Autism Association is to respond to the most urgent needs of the autism community, providing real help and hope so that all affected can reach their full potential.
About This Cause
Founded in 2003, the National Autism Association (NAA) is a parent-run advocacy organization and the leading voice on urgent issues related to severe autism, regressive autism, autism safety, autism abuse, and crisis prevention. In addition to funding impactful research studies and advocating for our children at the national level, NAA has developed several crucial programs to directly assist families. Your donation will help us to continue and expand these programs, including: •Helping Hand Program - one of the only programs in the country to provide financial assistance to families with children in need of medical care. •National Autism Conference - focusing on cases of severe, regressive, and nonverbal autism. The annual conference is now in its 8th year. •FOUND Program - an initiative that has provided over $100,000 in law-enforcement funding for training and personal locating services for individuals with autism. •Big Red Safety Box Program - an initiative that provides families with free safety items, tips and tools to prevent and respond to wandering incidents. •Big Red Safety Booth - provides conference attendees across the country with free tools and materials for at-risk children with autism. •Give A Voice Program - provides an Apple iPad Mini, assistive communication software and a protective Gripcase to individuals diagnosed with autism who are non-verbal or minimally verbal, and whose communication challenges put them at increased risk of injury or harm. The rate of autism continues to skyrocket. A recent report by the CDC indicates that 1 in 50 U.S. school-aged children are now affected. We have much work to do and invite you to join our private email list at www.NationalAutism.org to remain informed and invested.
