Our Giving Page

Over the last eleven years, APRI has been at the forefront of developing many new and innovative programs that enrich the lives of children with autism and help them reach their highest potential.

During our last fiscal year, APRI provided workshops and trainings to staff in public schools across the state. Countless teachers, speech pathologists, occupational therapists, teacher assistants, social workers, school psychologists, home-based workers, principals and parents participated in our trainings. Consultations were provided to individual students and to programs across the state. To date the Autism Project has provided consultation services to over 90% of the school systems in Rhode Island.

None of this is possible without your help.
