Transforming Lives Through Early Autism Support
Every 28 minutes, a family in the Inland Empire receives an autism diagnosis, beginning a journey filled with waitlists, scattered resources, and complex healthcare systems. That's where UCR's SEARCH Center steps in.
In 2024 alone, we’ve supported over 500 local families, providing specialized assessments in English and Spanish. Beyond our community, we’re reshaping the national conversation on autism and higher education. Our award-winning documentary, Autism Goes to College, and its podcast series have shattered stereotypes and inspired students nationwide.
Working alongside schools and autism organizations, we’re building a future where every child with autism can reach their full potential. But we can’t do it without you.
Chances are, someone in your life, a family member, a friend, or a colleague, has been touched by this spectrum. By supporting the SEARCH Center, you’re not just helping families navigate autism—you’re fostering a world where neurodiversity is understood, valued, and celebrated.
This Give Day, help us provide more assessments, reduce wait times, and create more success stories. Make your gift today!
