ARC is a nonprofit organization that shares autism presentations with community groups, organizations, and businesses on a voluntary basis. To support the cost of ongoing research, material development, and presenter's time our net average operational cost associated with each presentation can be upwards of $400. We gratefully accept donations to offset these costs. A recommended donation of $200 will ensure our capacity to continue offering presentations in the future. However should the cost of a donation become a barrier for you, we would still gladly accept the opportunity to work with you. Education and advocacy are key pillars within our organization, and we appreciate your interest in our presentation. For more information on our presentations please see our Training page.
