A portion will be given to the National Down Syndrome Society for research and education.
Funds are raised through corporate sponsorship and walkers’ pledges for our local walk.

IASF provides referrals to providers who offer free or reduced pricing for treatments, therapies and care. IASF also offers respite care in the form of a recreation program for children with an autism spectrum disorder and their siblings, with concurrent parent meetings which provide special topics and expert speakers to help them face the challenges of raising a child on the autism spectrum. Our autism awareness programs in schools educate children and teachers who may not understand or exhibit tolerances for differences or behaviors of kids with an autism spectrum disorder. Our faith-based outreach program brings awareness of the types of support systems needed in order for our families to worship together. Children with a diagnosis of an autism spectrum disorder up to the age of 18 are eligible for our assistance if living in the counties of Posey, Gibson, Vanderburgh, Warrick, Spencer and Pike in Indiana and Henderson or Daviess in Kentucky.
