Our Mission
Dedicated to Serving the Autistic Community
Our mission is to improve each autistic child's quality of life and increase or maintain their independence by providing them with the therapeutic items they need to continue to develop fine motor, gross motor, and speech skills while also meeting sensory needs.
What We Do
Supporting ASD Children with therapeutic and sensory items
Children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder often have difficulty navigating the day-to-day without the assistance of support or therapeutic services and items. It is typical for a child with autism to attend several hours of therapies a week to include Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Speech Therapy, Feeding Therapy, and ABA Therapy often averaging up to 40 hours a week of therapy alone. As one can imagine, this is very difficult for parents and children to maintain longterm as it is both a strain on schedules and finances. In fact, on average, autism costs an estimated $60,000 a year through childhood (Reference: AutismSpeaks.org). Additional support resources are urgently needed.
AutismWish allows parents of autistic children (Wishers) to create and submit Amazon Wishlists specifically tailored to their child's sensory or therapeutic needs. These may include particular toys or items geared towards supporting autistic children. Once the wishlists have been approved and submitted, we pair the Wishers with Heroes who select items from their Amazon Wishlist to fulfill, thereby assisting the child with at-home access to therapeutic items that can help them develop their skills or provide sensory regulation. By providing these children with the tools they need at home, AutismWish not only directly helps support their development but also provides a free at-home play alternative to parents who are unable to afford or accommodate therapies for their child.
