Supporting the SEARCH Center

The SEARCH family autism resource center depends on private support to continue its mission of supporting, educating, advocating and providing resources, community and hope for families affected by autism. Everything we do, including our SEARCH Fellows who help parents secure services, bilingual educational workshops, materials we make available to families, and the special education faculty who conduct valuable research on autism spectrum disorder, can only be sustained with the help of people in the community who care.

Please consider making a gift so that we may continue to work to enrich the lives of children and families affected by autism. Below are just a few of our giving opportunities.
