ACES³ mission is to educate, empower, and support families of persons with autism and act as a means of change, with the goal of building informed communities. The organization’s vision is to facilitate the development of an informed and united community that will support research efforts in order to better understand Autism and Autism Spectrum Disorders.

      The foundation consists of parents of children with autism along with professionals (physicians, educators, and therapists) who regularly work with the Autism Spectrum Disorders population. These committed individuals came together after realizing the need for improved services, education, and research in the field of Autism in the Rio Grande Valley.

     The monthly Autism Support Group and the 1st Annual Autism Symposium held in February 2006 are some of the services that ACES³ has initiated here in the Rio Grande Valley.  View our ACES³ calendar for more information on upcoming events.
