Grants

The A.R.T Advisory Board reviews and evaluates proposals in areas that we support. When necessary, we invite outside reviewers to form Ad Hoc scientific committees. We accept proposals in the following areas:

  • Treatment research from professionals

  • Student research supervised by professionals

  • Student dissemination of research at conferences and conventions

  • Programs for children with autism


We do not fund individual children or families for participation in personal programs.
