Our Partner Organizations

Playtime volunteers

Playtime is one of the most important experiences children with ASD can have. It puts them at ease and increases their possibility of having positive interactions.

Art therapy class

Much has been said about art as a form of therapy - we couldn't agree more. Another core program of our organization, this class helps children with ASD to open up to new people and experiences.

Join our volunteer community

Join our growing community of over 250 volunteers across the world, and make an impact in the lives of children with ASD and their families. There are numerous ways to help out.

With as little as US $5/month, you can make a huge impact on a child's life. Your donation will help a child with ASD stay in daycare, receive personal care, food, and enjoy art therapy classes.

Support a child

When you support a program, you support 25 children with ASD and their families. Your donation will help our program run smoothly, and continue to offer rehabilitative help to those who need it.
