Fund for Autism

Thanks to Mr. Dormani’s donation, the Foundation has set up a fund to help families with children with an autism spectrum disorder. This neurological disorder affects many aspects of a child’s development. It affects their ability to communicate and relate to others, and restricts their interests. The funds are often used to cover the cost of attending specialized summer camps.
