About Our Organization

ACT is a national nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization whose mission is to raise awareness and provide treatment services and support to families to help their children with autism be able to achieve their full potential.

Since 2005, Autism Care Today (ACT) has given almost 2 million dollars in grants to families for things like safety equipment, insurance co-pays, assistance dogs, camp scholarships, communication devices and much more.

ACT was founded by Dr. Doreen Granpeesheh, star of the popular Ask Dr. Doreen podcast. “When people understand the overwhelming needs of families with children on the spectrum of autism, they give generously. This is a party with a purpose. To date we have been able to give over 2 million dollars to families for the things they need and ask for. For one family that might be an iPad, for another family that might mean help with medical copays. In some cases it is for safety equipment to keep a child safe. We are committed to helping these families. The more money we raise, the more people we are able to help.”
