FOUNDATION FOR AUTISM CAREEDUCATION AND SERVICES
Mission Statement
F.A.C.E.S. is a non-profit 501c3 foundation dedicated to raising funds to directly support Applied Behavior Analysis therapy, education, services, and treatment for children with autism. The Board of Directors of F.A.C.E.S. considers it a privilege to work with and for these children and their families. Currently 1 child in 31 are diagnosed with some form of autism spectrum disorder. Our emphasis is on those children in the Houston area. We consider ourselves to be a voice for these children—many of whom do not have vocal language. Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a treatment approach studied and validated by over 70 years of scientific research. The treatment focuses on increasing appropriate behaviors and celebrating successes. It is a data-driven system of teaching that emphasizes breaking down skills into their component parts and teaching skills using various types of prompts and positive reinforcement. Our foundation, founded in 2006, awards scholarship monies to families who submit an application exhibiting their needs. We have awarded 2 million in our nearly 19 years, and the necessity for funds continues to be great. We also are proud to offer scholarships to individuals pursuing certification in Applied Behavior Analysis.
