Autism Speaks is an autism science and advocacy organization that provides education and community support, provides resource referrals to family, and offers grants that provide people with autism with social and educational experiences. Autism Speaks sponsors an Autism Response Team (ART) information line for the autism community that provides information, tools and resources in communities. They also sponsor variety of Sensory Friendly Events in communities throughout the country. Through the Autism Speaks Local Impact Grant program, we fund activities across the country in our chapters and regional markets. In addition, the bi-annual Norma and Malcolm Baker Recreation Program grants identify and support innovative community programs for people with autism of all ages.
