The Parker Foundation for Autism and Child Development is a 501 (c)(3) non profit organization dedicated to serving families of children with Autism through sponsoring and facilitating recreational sports, arts and education programs in our community. As parents of both a child with Autism and a typically developing child as well, Co-Founders Ted and Melissa Parker established the organization in 2015 inspired to create family-centered programs that would positively support early intervention. The mission of the foundation is to bridge the gap in resources and programs available to families of children with Autism as well as to nurture a community of understanding and support to children with Autism and related disabilities and their families.
