Outreach
Building bridges to independence for Arkansans with autism
Grants
In addition to raising awareness about autism through resource fairs, fun family outings, teen and young adult volunteer opportunities and socials, workshops or trainings, and sensory-friendly events, we raise money to fund innovative projects and programs that will help “build bridges to independence for Arkansans with autism.”
Resources
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a developmental disability that can cause significant social, communication and behavioral challenges. That is, people with Autism exhibit difficulties in establishing and maintaining relationships; understanding and using language; as well as repetitive behavior, adherence to routines, fixated interests, or sensory problems.
Scholarship
One Arkansas Autism Foundation Scholarship will be awarded for $1,000.00 for one year as long as funds are available and may be used for tuition, fees, books and room and board at an accredited institute for higher education in Arkansas.
