What We Do

RAISING AUTISM AWARENESS & FUNDING INTERVENTION, SUPPORT, AND RESEARCH.

The Ted Lindsay Foundation is focused on elevating public awareness about the need for increased funding and support for individuals with autism. We provide financial support for intervention, educational programs, and social services for children and young adults with autism. Our Courage Award honors two individuals or families each year facing life with autism with courage and perseverance. We also support new and existing research projects investigating possible causes of autism to improve understanding of this complex condition.
