Why Your Donation is So Important… PDF Print

Autism is Everywhere
It’s estimated that as many as one in 165 children have some form of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Every month, more than 80 new families approach us seeking support. We need your help.

Autism Diagnoses are on the Rise
With the diagnostic rate of autism on the rise, one in 68 families will see their lives change. But that change also affects the neighbourhood that family lives in, as well as the classrooms and workplaces to which each family member is connected.

Autism Touches 1 of Every 10 Employees
A diagnosis of ASD is so common that the Canadian Autism Intervention Research Network says one of every 10 people is directly touched by autism in his lifetime. That means the life of an employee, co-worker, supplier or client could be affected by autism.

Autism Doesn’t Stop when You Turn 18
Funding for autism currently targets programs for children while adult autism services remain poorly funded. But autism is a lifelong journey, one that requires on-going support and training.

Autism Can Be Managed with Your Support
Provincial funding meets only some of our core service needs such as Intensive Therapy and Counseling. But key development programs, like Social Skill-Building and Respite Services are subsidized almost exclusively by you, our supporters.

Autism Funding Serves Families
Geneva Centre for Autism Foundation provides the funds necessary for Geneva Centre for Autism to deliver best practice clinical and support programs for children and adults with ASD. To enrich an individual with autism’s quality of life we are dedicated to providing much-needed resources for families.
