In the midst of a pandemic, a little good news goes a long way. April is Autism Awareness Month and, to bring attention to those affected by Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Charity Navigator has selected the Achievement Centers for Children as one of the nation’s highest-rated charities for promoting autism awareness.
Achievement Centers for Children, a Cleveland-based nonprofit organization founded in 1940, provides support, services and programs to help children with a wide range of physical, emotional, neurological or developmental disabilities achieve their full potential. Over the decades, it has established itself as a premiere resource for people with ASD and their families. The agency provides comprehensive high-quality, cost-effective services and programs in the areas of therapy, education, recreation and sports, and family support services to meet the needs of the entire family. The agency serves children from birth through adulthood, with a special focus on children from birth through age five.
“It is an honor to be recognized for the work we do for Northeast Ohio’s autism community,” says Sally Farwell, president and CEO. “We want people to know that our services are available to individuals with autism, and a wide range of other disabilities, through a variety of high-quality programs. We hope that this national recognition will translate into additional local support.”
Charity Navigator recognizes the Achievement Centers for Children as a highest rated 4-star charity and notes on its website that the organizations they selected “work hard throughout the year to promote autism awareness, inclusion and self-determination for those with ASD.”
