Annually, NFAR provides funding for the research and development of programs that help children with autism. Programs range from early identification and treatment of autism spectrum disorder to preparation for a smooth transition into adulthood.
NFAR is pleased to announce our 2012/2013 Community Project grantees, all of which provide increased learning and treatment opportunities for local children with autism and their families.
