Dom and Michael. REDEFINE EDUCATION FOR PEOPLE WITH AUTISM. 4X MATCH DONATE

Dominic and Autism Speaks share a very special connection — and in more ways than one! We were both born 20 years ago, we both love to give back to our communities, and we’re both jumping for joy because: It’s World Autism Month!

With the help of a generous anonymous donor, we’re celebrating with a 4X Match. That means a gift from you right now can go FOUR TIMES further to help Redefine Possible for people with autism, like Dominic, and their families.

Our connection with Dominic and his dad, Michael, goes way back. In the years following Dominic’s diagnosis at age 4, Michael struggled to get his son the specialized support he needed while also juggling the responsibilities of owning and operating a successful restaurant.

The struggle was especially pronounced when it came to finding the right educational opportunities for Dominic. Michael tried enrolling his son in the special education program at his local public school, but quickly found that it was not meeting Dominic’s unique needs. That’s when Michael reached out for help:

When we called Autism Speaks, they mentioned The Cooke School and found out that if the public school system couldn't help Dominic, they would pay for any school we could find to place Dominic. - Michael, Dominic's Dad

This is what we do: when people with autism and their families need help, we go out and find it for them. The experts behind our Autism Response Team provide personalized FREE guidance and comfort for those who need it today while helping build a more inclusive world for everyone tomorrow.

It’s work like this that is making it possible for people like Dominic to Redefine Possible — in school, at work, and in all aspects of life. We have the generosity of committed supporters like YOU to thank for that!

This World Autism Month, help connect more families like Dominic and Michael’s with the help they need to Redefine Possible. Make your QUADRUPLED gift now!
