Autism Speaks
Autism Speaks is a 501(c)(3) organization that promotes solutions for the needs of individuals with autism and their families. These solutions are implemented across the spectrum and throughout the lifespan of those living with autism. The altruistic mission of Autism Speaks is fulfilled through advocacy, support and increasing public understanding and acceptance of people living with autism. Additionally, Autism Speaks works to advance research into causes and better interventions for autism spectrum disorder and related conditions.
Community partnerships are an important element in Autism Speaks’ overall mission, as these collaborations help this organization to carry out their commitments to those living with autism and their families. Gallery Furniture and Mattress Mack are proud to work closely with Autism Speaks to help them fulfill their commitment of enhancing the lives of those living with autism through early intervention, global understanding, research and more.
