Scholarships

Imagine never hearing your son or daughter speak. Not hearing "I love you, mom" or "Hi, daddy." For many families, that is a potential reality when their child receives a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder or another developmental disability.

As a non-profit organization, Touro is committed to keeping rates low and we accept many insurance providers.  However, many children need multiple therapies many times per week to reach their full potential.  This can be financially burdensome to families even with two incomes and insurance coverage.

We created a Scholarship Grant Fund for families who either cannot afford services, have high co-pays, or need a therapy that is not covered by insurance. Donations to this Grant Fund make a significant difference to many families at the Center.

Your tax-deductible gift will support families for whom treatment costs are prohibitive.  Help other parents hear their child say I love you or run and give them a hug.

Our puzzle donor wall recognizes donors who give $1,000 or more to the Grant Fund.  Add your name to this wall of support.

"Autism spectrum disorders have confounded the medical community, therapists – and especially parents – for generations. In Qatar, we’ve paid special attention to autism research, to its diagnosis and treatment, and to the critical issue of autism acceptance.

Qatar is very pleased to contribute to Touro University’s Center for Autism and Developmental Disabilities and to support the outstanding work they are doing in Nevada to treat children with autism spectrum disorders and other developmental disabilities.

Every child should have the opportunity to live a healthy, happy and productive life. That’s a goal we in Qatar and the team at the Center for Autism and Developmental Disabilities share, and together, we are working to make it happen.
