Did you know that CARD is funded annually through a grant provided by the Department of Education?
THE CARD GRANT PROVIDES FOR SERVICES THAT ARE NECESSARY TO:
- Preserve families and avoid costly residential placements
- Provide training and support to schools, child or adult care service providers to increase the number of highly effective professionals
- Train educators and early interventionists in evidence-based practices that improve high school graduation rates
- Improve early identification and early intervention that minimizes long-term disability impact and associated costs to taxpayers
- Prepare adults with autism and related disabilities to be contributing members of their community through sustainable employment
- Increase the ability of individuals with autism and their families to access and fully participate in community life
Gifts are used to extend CARD’s mission past its limited funding capabilities to support individuals with autism, their families and the professionals who work in the autism community.
