Why donate to CT FEAT?
CT FEAT is proud to be celebrating its 10th anniversary this year! For
more than a decade, we have pursued three primary goals:
1) Supporting Parents – while we work closely
with many professionals, our organization is
run by family
members, for family members. CT FEAT provides unique information
and networking opportunities which empower parents to become
more effective advocates for their children.
These free resources include our newsletter, web site, telephone
hotline, Internet discussion list, speaker events, books,
information packages, and parent resource meetings. Hundreds of
parents participate in our listserv and thousands visit our web
site. |
2)
Raising Awareness - CT FEAT supports outreach efforts
to educate the public. For example, we’ve donated thousands
of dollars’ worth of autism-related books to public libraries
across the state. Our newsletter is distributed to more
than sixteen hundred parents, teachers, doctors and other
professionals.
We’ve also partnered with the national Learn the Signs, Act
Early campaign sponsored by the federal Center for Disease
Control, and worked with pediatricians and other professionals
to promote timely diagnosis and effective treatment. |
3)
Expanding Treatment Resources – CT FEAT sponsors
conferences and other opportunities for both parents and
professionals to acquire the most current knowledge about
effective autism treatment.
In addition, we have demonstrated a singular commitment to
increasing the number of behavior analysts in our state. We are
in our 4th year of sponsoring the Nancy Leahy Shea Memorial
Educator ABA Scholarship.
The scholarship covers full tuition in the academic coursework
required for national certification in applied behavior analysis
(ABA). To date, there have been 4 recipients of this award,
with scholarships totaling over $15,000. |
We don’t charge for any of our services. And we never
accept paid advertisements of any kind in connection with our
activities. Instead, we rely solely on financial support from
private contributions by people like you.
Help us help the families and children that we all care so much
about. Thank you very much for your interest and support!
