Can you explain how Awareness for Autism is supporting parents with children who have ASD in more detail?

Awareness for Autism offers support through an autism community support group. Once a month, we host a live support group call so parents who are navigating the steps of learning about ASD can receive help, answers to questions, and more from a community that is going through a similar journey.

We’re also supporting parents with ASD by donating the funds we receive to local ASD centres in Toronto and GTA. The funds that go to these centres are then directly distributed to parents to help cover the costs of tuition.

We want to make it very clear that these funds are not given to the centres to be used for routine maintenance, upkeep, or employee salaries or benefits. The funds given to the centres are re-distributed to parents who need financial support with tuition fees.
