About this organization
Mission
To improve the lives of Houston, TX area children with autism spectrum disorder and their families by providing scholarships for applied behavior analysis.
About
Autism creates a bewildering world for both the child and his or her family. It involves difficulty understanding and interpreting social communication and is often combined with restricted interests and/or repetitive behavior. An inability to function successfully at home and school often compromises social and academic progress and is disheartening to all. By providing scholarships for applied behavior analysis (ABA), children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder are taught new functional strategies that improve outcomes for both child and family. In 2019, 44 children received or were awarded $256,117 in applied behavior analysis scholarships. Since beginning its life changing work in 2007, the Foundation for Autism Care, Education and Services has awarded more than $1.4 million in ABA scholarships. Scholarships are determined by confirmed diagnosis and demonstrated need for financial help to pay for applied behavior analysis (ABA) beyond what insurance will cover. Most applications come from working families with children who have just been diagnosed and cannot afford recommended treatment and families who cannot afford treatment due to extenuating circumstances.
