Time it takes
to receive funding
for autism services.

Research proves the first few years of a child’s life are the most important when it comes to autism treatment. At Autism In Mind (AIM), we’ve seen firsthand how appropriate autism services transform children.

That’s why we’re doing our part to help families access therapy services by offering our AIM Subsidized Therapy Program for children with autism.

AIM strives to help as many families as possible by keeping our administrative expenses low.

Over 85% of our monetary donations go straight into supporting children by expanding the AIM Subsidized Therapy Program and AIM CARE program, obtaining high-quality equipment and materials, and broadening our services to help more families in need.

Community is a driving force in creating awareness, acceptance, and change.

Meeting families’ needs means understanding where they are now before guiding them forward

Little things are never really little so we should celebrate every milestone.
