ADCC provides scholarships to special needs students and offers peer mentorship programs, recreational activities, and other support services to a variety of local schools and organizations who support children with autism & other special needs.
In order to provide such services, we rely heavily on our volunteers, who participate in our programs including P.L.A.Y. (Pal Leagues for Autistic Youth).
We also work with our partner organizations to host fundraising events on an annual basis.
Our longest-running and most well-known fundraiser has been our Annual Easter Event held in Santana Row the Sunday before Easter.
Funds are raised to provide tuition and service-based scholarships for special needs students whose parents may otherwise not be able to afford services such as Speech Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Behavioral Assessment, ABA Therapy, and other educational & skill-building programs.
Some of the organizations we work with to raise funds and provide scholarships for special needs students in the Silicon Valley area include but are not limited to:
- Creative Learning Center
- National Charity League
- Foothill Preschool
Autism Diagnostics & Consulting Center Inc.
