We match the street line and ZIP code as the IRS gives them, ignoring case and outer spaces and nothing else, so "AVE" and "AVENUE" count as different streets and this list can miss some. A shared address can mean related organizations or a shared office, but it can also be a registered agent, a mail drop or a service provider holding mail for unrelated clients. It is not, by itself, evidence that two organizations are connected.

Mission and programs · 2025

• THE GOAL OF ACN'S CLINICAL SERVICES IS TO PROVIDE HIGH QUALITY AND TIMELY AUTISMDIAGNOSES TO UNDERSERVED CHILDREN AND FAMILIES. In 2025, Autism Community Network (ACN) received 917 referrals from pediatricians or primary care physicians. Of the 917 children were referred for services, 78 were over the age of service for the ACN clinic.136 were under 36 months at the time of referral and thus placed into Earliest Connections Clinic (ECC) Diagnostic program. ECC was initiated in 2019 to serve infants at an increased likelihood of autism diagnosis to afford these children earlier access to diagnosis and crucial early intervention services. ACN conducted 422 developmental diversity assessments (screeners ) which are focused examinations meant to look for markers of developmental differences in communication, social reciprocity, sensory processing, and emotional regulation. 70% of children evaluated were recommended to return for a diagnostic appointment. 39 full interdisciplinary diagnostic evaluations were scheduled in 2025, and 36 were completed. 92% received a positive diagnosis with a 92% attendance rate. 98 children were placed on the expedited diagnostic track and 91 were completed. 96% of these children received a positive diagnosis for autism. 148 Earliest Connections Clinic (ECC) appointments were scheduled and 136 were completed (92% attendance rate). 72% of those children evaluated were positively diagnosed. The Pathways Program. This evaluation requires a team with additional mental health experience to medically and psychologically evaluate the child. Families in this program meet criteria as having higher psychosocial barriers, including high parental anxiety/depression, an elevated number of ACES for the child, and/or low parental self-efficacy. In 2025, out of 90 scheduled appointments, 81 were completed with a diagnostic rate of 88%. ACNs Caregiver Empowerment Program had a number of successes and new initiatives come on board in the past few years.In 2025, Autism Community Network conducted 50 classes through Coffee & Connections and Off-site Trainings. "Fam Jams", affinity-based, on-campus events for the entire family, were introduced on ACN's new campus in 2023, and in 2025 we held 5 of such events, bringing together 321 family members. Support groups for caregivers and for siblings were held 21 times in 2025, and were attended by 37 parents, grandparents and siblings. PACT ACN is proud to be the first in the US to use Pediatric Autism Communication Therapy or PACT. PACT is a theory based, parent-mediated, and video-aided intervention designed to improve social communications competencies in children with ASD. The principles of PACT derive from research on pre-linguistic, pragmatic, and language development. The approach is based on interventions developed for children with developmental language delays and targets core impairments in shared attention, understanding, and intentional communication. The rationale for PACT intervention is based on findings that children with ASD require a style of adapted interaction that is specifically matched to their individual level of social communication, (Green et al., 2010). PACT intervention occurs through child-led, naturalistic play, which is supported by the childs caregiver and filmed for retrospective reflective analysis. PACT intervention occurs through child-led, naturalistic play, which is supported by the childs caregiver and filmed for retrospective reflective analysis. Researched and developed in the UK, PACT has only recently become available in the US. ACN offers PACT training assuring primary caregivers of young children with autism, their parents, their teachers, and their early interventionists access to state of the art, evidence based, parent-mediated intervention shown to help caregivers understand and adapt to their young childs cues to promote the optimal developmental trajectory of children impacted by autism. In 2025, 35 caregivers of 20 children participated in PACT. Camp AUSOME! Had 5 weeks of camp in 2025.For many of these children, this was their first time ever attending a camp.Camps are in many instances, a one on one situation for children attending. Camps are a great opportunity for local students to intern and get real life, practical experience working with children with ASD. All camps were fully funded by grant support and were free to all attendees. In 2025 ACN hosted two STEM/Technology/Coding camps for autistic children called Camp AUSOME! WE:Code once again, in partnership with Youth Code Jam. 17 children attended Camp AUSOME! WE:Code in 2025. A Coding Club was also held throughout the school year, serving an additional 10 children. Autism Community Network once again hosted a camp called Camp AUSOME! WE:Go at Camp Aranzazu in Rockport, TX. This camp is for neurotypical siblings of autistic children, and 17 children attended in 2025. Camp WE:Play created and hosted this half-day, one-week camp on our campus for the 3rd year in 2025. It is tailored to autistic children between the ages of 5-11 with all supports needs, and focuses on social-emotional skills as well as functional communication. An added component is the mentorship therapy staff give daily to our student clinician volunteers. We had 16 campers/students. Camp WE:Act had its inaugural camp in 2025 with 17 campers. The program ended with a performance run by the campers at The Wonder Theater.

Officers and directors · 2025

As listed in Part VII of the 2025 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

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. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. 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. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.
