The Sierra Kids Foundation is a non-profit organization located in northern Nevada dedicated to improving the lives of children with developmental disabilities, most commonly, autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
The Foundation provides financial assistance awarded to eligible families to help pay for all or a portion of the cost of an Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy program. Amounts for aid vary depending upon the type and duration of services provided, as well as the family’s financial circumstance.
When the financial burden of accessing crucial therapies is eased, the family is better able to focus on their child. The Sierra Kids Foundation is proud to help families access these services, who may not be able to otherwise. The relief of financial burden goes a long in creating a space of reduced stress, helping the family and child make more progress in therapy.
Therapy can be costly, and not always covered by insurance.
Families assisted by the Sierra Kids Foundation have a child 0-17 years of age with ASD. The families we seek to help can be un/underinsured, unemployed, single parents, foster families, fixed income, low-income or are determined through the application process to have significant out of pocket costs for therapy.
