Angels for Autism

Currently in its sixth year, Angels for Autism has helped countless families participate in our world-renowned parent training program, ADAPT - A Therapeutic Parent Education Program. ADAPT teaches parents effective strategies for managing a child's challenging behaviors, goal setting and tailoring daily activities so a child can reach those goals, improving communication skills, and managing stress. A parent becomes, in effect, a lifelong, in-home therapist.

Unfortunately, many families we serve have limited financial means and can't afford to attend this important program. The cost of providing our two-week, full-time ADAPT program is $5,500 per family.

Our Angels for Autism Scholarship Fund is designed to cover the cost of this critical training.

For a gift of a full scholarship ($5,500) or a half scholarship ($2,750), you will help a family who has limited ability to pay for ADAPT to receive the early intervention their child so urgently needs. Plus, you'll receive a beautiful, commemorative Waterford crystal angel that will serve as a daily reminder of your generous gift. Additional 20 percent ($1,100) and 10 percent ($550) scholarships are also available. As always, a gift of any size is greatly appreciated, as it will help us reach more families impacted by autism.

Please consider joining us in supporting families dealing with autism by becoming an Angel for Autism. For more details, contact Sheryl Ray at (314) 394-7018 or sheryl.ray@lifeskills-mo.org.
