There are many children and adults living in the world today that are misunderstood, bullied, ostracized, teased, ignored and segregated. The reason for this separation is because they live with autism. With your help, we can break down these barriers, dispel the autism stereotypes and myths and improve the quality of life for those living with this invisible condition.
For this very reason, we have created the NeighborHeart program to provide a better quality of life for children and adults with autism and other special needs by:
- Providing Quality Of Life Grants to families that care for children and adults with autism and other special needs. These grants provide families with stipends that may be used for a wide variety of supports related to their family member.
- Fostering an ongoing campaign of Awareness & Compassion for all individuals with special needs. Individuals with special needs deserve the same respect as everyone else and we will strive to educate others who do not understand this mindset.

The NeighborHeart Prom
Friday, October 24th 2008Remember your high school prom? The anticipation? Nervously getting dressed up while wondering how your date was going to look? Dancing all night then sneaking to the after parties? Coming in late to your parents waiting up on the couch?
Let Neighborheart take you back to when you were young and care free to relive one of the most anticipated nights of your life - the high school prom. This time you have a second chance to celebrate with the one you love, or come solo and take that chance of meeting that special someone to start new memories with.
