coxmedialv In 2009 a single mother living in Las Vegas was struggling to get answers and help for her son, Grant, when he showed signs of Autism Spectrum Disorder. Like many parents of children on the spectrum, she worried constantly that her son would never find acceptance or purpose in life. She founded Grant a Gift Autism Foundation to provide a place where children with autism could find social opportunities and job training, and where their parents could find community resources and support.
The mission of Grant a Gift Autism Foundation (GGAF) is to help children, young adults and their families master autism by providing assessment and treatment funding; combined with support services, vocational training and transition planning.

We provide family-centered care through one or more of our programs and services, and help prepare individuals with autism to live as independent adults with functioning roles in our community.
We act as a community safety net by filling in treatment and funding gaps not covered by state and federal resources or insurance. Our organization achieves this by collaborating with other organizations, state agencies, or providers to give children with Autism Spectrum Disorder growing up in Nevada a better quality of life and future as they transition into adults.
