A heartfelt thank you to Congressman Chris Smith for his instrumental role in securing a $400,000 federal grant for the Achieve Academy for Adults with Autism. This vital funding will greatly enhance our ability to address the pressing need for services and educational opportunities for adults with Autism after they age out of public school services at 21. The Board would like to extend our deepest gratitude for your unwavering support and advocacy for this crucial cause.
