About Us
WELCOME
TO
AUTISM HEARTS FOUNDATION
​
As individuals struggle with the confusion and disorder that marks a world within the spectrum, nothing replaces the loving guidance of one’s own parents, and for the luckier ones – the steady presence of grandparents. As a grandmother of a child with autism, our family was no stranger to the pain and disillusionment that individuals go through upon discovering that a loved one with ASD will struggle with lifelong challenges including communication, and social skills among others. Determined to help my own family, and others like ours, Autism Hearts’ journey began in the Philippines and led us to the United States, where we continued to search for information, programs, therapies, and advocacy.
​
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to maximize the potential of children and adults with autism spectrum disorders to learn, develop, function independently, and participate in the full range of social and cultural activities for an improved quality of life.
