Scholarships for Autism Care & ABA
Below are some of the organizations that provide scholarships for Autism Care & ABA therapy. This is not an exhaustive list.
National Autism Association
The National Autism Association is a non-profit organization that aims to respond to the immediate requirements of the autism community. It seeks to help individuals affected by autism so that they can develop their potential to the highest level. The association also works to create awareness about autism and its treatment options.
UnitedHealthcare Children’s Foundation
The UnitedHealthcare Children's Foundation, a non-profit organization, helps families who face financial challenges by covering the treatment expenses of children with autism. Specifically, this foundation understands the needs of children who may not receive the necessary treatment due to the lack of health insurance coverage. By providing financial support, the UnitedHealthcare Children’s Foundation helps families adequately fund the required treatment, thus preventing them from falling into debt. The foundation also works with healthcare providers to ensure that children with autism receive comprehensive care.
ACT Today!
Autism Care and Treatment (ACT) Today! is a national nonprofit organization that aims to spread awareness about autism treatments and provide help to those who need it most. It provides funds to families who require financial aid for their children's treatment. This organization not only assists children with autism in accessing the required treatment therapies but also supports them in reaching their full potential. Founded by Dr. Doreen Granpeesheh, ACT Today! has a separate campaign called ACT Today! for Military Families (ATMF) that focuses on supporting military children with autism. ACT Today! actively promotes awareness about successful autism treatments through various channels such as blogs, television, and news articles. It also works with research institutions to advance knowledge in the field of autism treatment.
Autism Family Resources
Autism Family Resources is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing financial help to families of children with autism. This foundation was established by parents of a child with autism who understand the emotional and financial stresses faced by these families. Autism Family Resources aims to alleviate these burdens by offering financial assistance and essential items required for the treatment of children with autism. Many of the prescribed items from physical, occupational, or other therapists are often financially challenging for families to afford. This organization provides funds to enable families to purchase these items, ensuring the safety and development of children with autism. Autism Family Resources also works with community organizations to expand its reach and support network for families in need.
