Noah’s ARC is very active in the autism community by providing resources, sharing our experiences and participating and facilitating local activities such as support groups and special needs story time. We do all of this while maintaining our fundraising activities to pay for Noah’s treatment, which is $5,000 per month. Please consider donating while you’re here. Thank you.

Mission

We exist to fundraise for Noah’s Autism treatments and provide resources and advocacy for families affected by Autism.

Vision

Our vision is to financially support Noah’s Autism treatments for as long as they are needed, increase Autism awareness and to advocate for the rights of families affected by Autism.

Values

  1. Autism does not define an individual. It is only a condition that the individual has.
  2. Individuals with Autism should receive treatment necessary to help them reach their full potential.
  3. Autism awareness and education are the driving factors for progress in Autism research, treatment, and recovery and policy reform.
  4. Support from the Autism community and the community as a whole is necessary for well being of those affected by Autism.

Our Story

On January 30, 2007 we were blessed with a beautiful baby boy. Noah was born from a pregnancy fraught with nervousness on my part, albeit uneventful. I’m diabetic and Noah was 11 lbs., 2 oz. when he was born. The pediatrician that gave him his first exam told us that he was perfect. We certainly thought so and still do.

Being that I am an only child and Larry having been the youngest in his family, neither of us were particularly familiar with developmental milestones. Of course we had the obligatory copy of “What to Expect…” which I looked at each month. The first time that I thought Noah was different from the other babies was when he was a year old. more
