Thank You For Your Support!

It is hard to believe that within the past year this project as gone from an idea that developed on a school trip to Jerusalem to a program that brings together people from communities around the world to make autism services accessible to children who would not otherwise have access to these services.

A Global Voice for Autism is fortunate to be partnering with The Jenin Creative Cultural Center and its wonderful and generous director to carry out this project in the Jenin community. A special thank you goes to Trefor Lloyd for connecting me to the Jenin community. Another special thank you is due to Qazi Fazli Azeem of Autism Pakistan who has been a constant support throughout the development of this project over the past year and who has volunteered as a guest speaker at our August 1st fundraiser in Minneapolis. There are many more people to thank for this project, including all of our Facebook and Twitter followers and the countless people who have asked about ways to get involved since the project officially launched in April. Please see the Our Supporters page for a list of people whose financial and moral support has enabled this project from the beginning.

Last but not least, a big thank you goes to our Jenin Autism Project Travel team. This group of BCBAs and ABA therapists has committed to taking time off from their jobs and obligations in the U.S. to volunteer their services training mothers of children with autism in Jenin in ABA. Kitti, Megan, Daniel and Ashlea are all therapists at different organizations in the Richmond area who are coming together to carry out this project. Additionally, Megan is designing a curriculum for our training program that is specific to the cultural, educational and community needs in Jenin. Check out The Jenin Autism Project Team page to learn more about our impressive therapist travel team.
