Description:
The purpose of this program is to promote local services that enhance the lives of those affected by autism spectrum disorder (ASD), expand the capacity of organizations to effectively serve the ASD community, and increase the field of national service providers to individuals with ASD. The program places a significant emphasis on products and deliverables that can benefit the autism community beyond those participating in projects. Such deliverables may include videos, manuals, and curricula that may be shared on the funding agency’s website for use by the broader community. The funding agency seeks to ensure that projects provide opportunities for individuals with varying levels of need. Careful consideration will be given to applications that specifically address the needs of underserved communities, which may include rural towns, non-English-speaking populations, and other vulnerable groups.
