The National Autism Association of North Texas is a non-profit organization with the mission of helping and advocating for families, individuals, and professionals dealing with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). We use 100% of our funds locally to provide support, resources, and education.



Our Needs

We are raising funds for emergency grants and scholarships to assist low-income families with medical needs, therapies & evaluations.

Mission

Our mission is to advocate for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), to help parents find treatment and resources, to educate our community, and to provide training, parent scholarships, and learning opportunities for families and professionals who work with individuals diagnosed with ASD.

NAA-NT is a 100% volunteer-driven non-profit organization for children diagnosed with Autism and their families. Since 2008, NAA-NT has awarded over $183,000 in scholarships, formed over 200 support groups, and organized over 25 special events to honor teachers, moms, and families affected by Autism.

Needs

A large portion of the donated funds at NAA-NT goes towards scholarships and grants benefiting children with autism. NAA-NT also awards emergency grants. For example, we were able to award over $8,000 to victims of Hurricane Harvey. This enabled families to stay in places more suitable for their children or buy emergency supplies and special diet foods.

NAA-NT provides scholarships for economically disadvantaged families for various needs such as purchasing a homeschool curriculum, medical fees for biomedical interventions, advocacy, funeral services, emergency residence, and co-pays for behavioral therapy.

Equity Statement

We are raising funds to support ASD families with autism education, support groups, scholarships, and community events. We also provide emergency grants for families impacted by autism. We'd love your support!
