Hold fundraisers and events to promote our cause. Connect families with resources for private skate lessons. Award grants for skateboards, safety gear, and private lessons. Mentor and educate volunteers and youth programs to work with special needs individuals. Create support groups Autism, like skateboarding, can be unpredictable and often times unruly. We embrace the parts of autism that are hard to understand and give these kids an outlet that is free of rules or judgment and allows them to be social, without being “social”.
