Grants for Families of Children with Autism

There's no doubt about it: autism is expensive. For some families,

though, the cost of autism can be devastating. That's why the

National Autism Association

<http://www.nationalautismassociation.org/helpinghand.php> has

created a grant program specifically for families of children with

autism who are in financial crisis.

If you are a family residing in the United States with a child on

the autism spectrum aged birth to 18, you may qualify for the grant.

The maximum you may request is $1,500. Money from the grant may be

applied ONLY to biomedical treatments, supplements or therapies for

your child with autism - and the money is paid directly to vendors

(not to families).

Similar grants are offered to families by Act-Today for Autism

<http://www.act-today.org/grants.html>, Autism Family Resources

<http://www.autismfamilyresources.org/needassistance2.htm>, and

United Healthcare Children's Foundation <http://www.uhccf.org/>. The

important point to note is that money from these grants never goes

directly to families - and it may be used only for autism treatments

and related costs (not to, for example, keep the house warm in

winter).

If you are in search of a grant for autism treatment, these grant

opportunities are legitimate resources. Many advertised grant

opportunities, however, are not. A Google search will almost

certainly lead you to sites and ads for "free grants for autism."

Many of these organizations will require you to pay in advance for

your "free grants" - an absurd idea, since grant, by their very

nature, are "free."

If any agency or individual requests money from you as part of a

grant application process, run fast and far. Then, consider reporting

that agency or individual to the police.

Do you know of other legitimate grant programs for families coping

with autism? If so, please let us know! Know of any to be avoided?

Your help is appreciated!
