LIAM Foundation Creating a better community, better life and better world through play. Trust me he has his days but who doesn't.

LIAM-Foundation - Long Island Autistic Mentors is an organization with the hopes of creating learning opprotunities for kids in our community through play. By providing shadows and allow kids with special needs to attend typical camps an entire world of possibilities opens up through interaction and play. Families with special needs kids will have the financial support of LIAM to help in this miss

ion. We've patnered with the Great South Bay YMCA to initiate this program and have been happily surprised at the results and feedback. My Liam has grown leeps and bounds and we've notice a dramatic increase in his social ability to interact with typical kids. We can learn a lot from these kids so our program give kids the opportunity and we as a community benefits from those experiences.

What an amazing turnout for the 10th anniversary Liam autism awareness crawl , we did not have a winner at the crawl, so we’re hoping that we can identify the individual that won the 50-50. If you were at the LIAM Foundation Bay Shore Crawl and purchased a 50/50 ticket that ends in 44, DM a picture of your ticket and we will confirm you have the winning ticket and arrange payout of your winnings! Thank you for your amazing support. We will be able to send 12-14 kids with special needs to camp this summer because of you.

In light of the news that a school has banned an autistic child from attending field trips, I feel the need to say something about this. There are boys and girls that no one invites to birthdays for example. There are kids who want to be part of a team, but they don’t get picked because winning is more important than taking care of each other and the value of the “everyone can participate” philosophy. Children with special needs are neither rare nor strange, they just want what everyone else wants... to be accepted for who they are!
Can I ask you a question? Is anyone willing to copy and paste this post on their wall without sharing, as I did, for a friend or a loved one? If so, thank you for showing the world that you care!!😊💚🧩
