About Me

The mission of Embracing Autism NH is to raise awareness, understanding and support of the ever growing spectrum disorder Autism in the state of New Hampshire, primarily through volunteer-supported fund raising to help provide appropriate educational programs to local New Hampshire public schools in the interest of preserving community relationships with children, youth and families affected by Autism. Our overall goal is educating children and youths to be successful in achieving their highest potential in each family’s own community.
