ACT Today for Military Families - Support Military Families Impacted by Autism

"Because of the unique way the husbands and wives, the sons and daughters of our all-volunteer force serve this nation, we have a sacred responsibility to care for them.”

~ Secretary of Defense, Robert Gates

American military families give so much...it's our turn to give back!

One out of every 88 military children has a diagnosis on the autism spectrum. It is well established that with early and effective treatments, children with autism can make significant gains and greatly improve their overall quality of life. ACT Today! for Military Families is committed to providing funding and support for military families impacted by autism. Your donation will help military children achieve their full potential.

Military families shoulder tremendous responsibilities today due to multiple and lengthy deployments.Military families impacted by autism face even more extraordinary circumstances, and access to effective autism services is limited. With your donation, we can make a difference in the life of a military child today and provide hope for a better tomorrow!
