Introduction to Autism
What We Do
At The Star Child Foundation, we empower children, adults, and families to live healthy, confident, and connected lives. We know that every journey is unique and we’re here to support yours every step of the way.
Our programs provide compassionate, community-based services that focus on disability inclusion, caregiver support, family stability, and workforce development. From sensory-friendly education for children with autism and developmental disabilities to stress management and advocacy training for caregivers, we help families build strength, resilience, and independence.
We also believe that stability starts with access to food, resources, and opportunity. Through our Community Food Pantry and Workforce Readiness Program, we address Food and nutrition support, promote financial wellness, and connect individuals to meaningful second-chance employment with local partners.
Rooted in empathy and powered by collaboration, we’re creating spaces where every child feels seen, every caregiver feels supported, and every individual has the tools to succeed.

“As a father to a son with autism, I am deeply passionate about raising awareness and fostering understanding. This journey has shown me that while I support my son, he is also guiding me, teaching patience, balance, and the beauty of diverse ways to communicate. His perspective has inspired me to stand up against bullying, nurture mental wellbeing, and create spaces where children with autism and their families feel supported. Through him, I’ve gained not only purpose but also a calling to give back to others walking a similar path.”
