Congratulations to the Class of 2026
ACEing Autism is deeply grateful to the dedicated volunteers who make our programs possible.
This season, we’re especially proud to celebrate our graduating senior Program Directors and volunteers—leaders who have brought energy, compassion, and commitment to our clinics. Join us in honoring their impact by making a gift in their name. Your support helps ensure the next generation of volunteers can follow in their footsteps.
