The Early Intervention Network: Enabling Families to Act Early Against Autism

Our Mission

Our passion is to heighten awareness of the earliest warning signs of autism spectrum disorders and expedite treatment for children by providing their families with bridge services until treatment under publicly funded programs is available to them.

How You Can Help

Not every parent who seeks services under publicly funded programs can give their child the gift of early intervention. Damage done to private individuals of limited means by the glacial pace of government bureaucracy is seldom more tragically realized than with children, newly diagnosed with autism. The gap of time between diagnoses and the initial realization of supportive benefits can be great; and the damage done by a disorder that does not wait grows only greater, more difficult to address and more likely to remain permanent while the papers shuffle. Your donation will help make it possible for parents to start immediate early intervention.
