Thanks to a generous $40,000 grant from the Oklahoma City Community Foundation, kids with autism in Oklahoma, Cleveland, and Canadian counties will benefit from critical early intervention services. The Early Foundations program is run by the Oklahoma Autism Center and supported by Children’s Health Foundation. Oklahoma has a shortage of quality programs and professionals working in autism and developmental disabilities. With OCCF’s support, Early Foundations is working to increase the number of high-quality programs and qualified professionals.
