Mission and programs · 2024
Mission
APPLIED BEHAVIOR ANALYSIS PROVIDES EVIDENCE-BASED INTERVENTION AND HOPE. IT IS THE MOST STUDIED AND VALIDATED THERAPY FOR CHILDREN WITH AUTISM AND COSTS UP TO $5,000 PER MONTH, MAKING IT UNAFFORDABLE FOR MANY FAMILIES.
Activities or mission (Part I)
TO IMPROVE THE LIVES OF HOUSTON, TX AREA CHILDREN WITH AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER AND THEIR FAMILIES BY PROVIDING SCHOLARSHIPS FOR APPLIED BEHAVIOR ANALYSIS.
-
AUTISM CREATES A BEWILDERING WORLD FOR BOTH THE CHILD AND HIS OR HER FAMILY. IT INVOLVES DIFFICULTY UNDERSTANDING AND INTERPRETING SOCIAL COMMUNICATION AND IS OFTEN COMBINED WITH RESTRICTED INTERESTS AND/OR REPETITIVE BEHAVIOR. AN INABILITY TO FUNCTION SUCCESSFULLY AT HOME AND SCHOOL OFTEN COMPROMISES SOCIAL AND ACADEMIC PROGRESS AND IS DISHEARTENING TO ALL. BY PROVIDING SCHOLARSHIPS FOR APPLIED BEHAVIOR ANALYSIS (ABA), CHILDREN DIAGNOSED WITH AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER ARE TAUGHT NEW FUNCTIONAL STRATEGIES THAT IMPROVE OUTCOMES FOR BOTH CHILD AND FAMILY.IN 2024, 126 CHILDREN WERE AWARDED $350,483 IN APPLIED BEHAVIOR ANALYSIS SCHOLARSHIPS. SINCE BEGINNING ITS LIFE CHANGING WORK IN 2006, THE FOUNDATION FOR AUTISM CARE, EDUCATION, AND SERVICES HAS AWARDED MORE THAN $3 MILLION IN ABA SCHOLARSHIPS.SCHOLARSHIPS ARE DETERMINED BY CONFIRMED DIAGNOSIS AND DEMONSTRATED NEED FOR FINANCIAL HELP TO PAY FOR APPLIED BEHAVIOR ANALYSIS (ABA) BEYOND WHAT INSURANCE WILL COVER. MOST APPLICATIONS COME FROM WORKING FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN WHO HAVE JUST BEEN DIAGNOSED AND CANNOT AFFORD RECOMMENDED TREATMENT AND FAMILIES WHO CANNOT AFFORD TREATMENT DUE TO EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES.
Expenses $324,449 · Grants $260,584

On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
