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

  • APPLIED BEHAVIOR ANALYSIS (ABA) PRACTITIONERS HAVE A HEART FOR SERVING CHILDREN WITH AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER. THESE HARDWORKING WOMEN AND MEN PATIENTLY PROVIDE DAILY COACHING, INSTRUCTION, MENTORING AND ENCOURAGEMENT TO CHILDREN WITH AUTISM AS THEY STRUGGLE TO MAKE SENSE OF THEIR DAY-TO-DAY WORLD. THE CERTIFICATION FOR THIS IMPORTANT WORK IS THE BOARD CERTIFIED BEHAVIOR ANALYST (BCBA). ABA CENTERS OFTEN COVER THE COST OF THE CERTIFICATION EXAMINATION BUT MOST DO NOT COVER THE COST OF EDUCATIONAL COURSEWORK IN SUPPORT OF ATTAINING THIS IMPORTANT CERTIFICATION. IN 2024 SEVEN ABA PRACTITIONERS RECEIVED $3,500 IN EDUCATIONAL SCHOLARSHIPS.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. 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. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Grants received

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.

What this page reflects
