We are here for you
All children are unique. They have their gifts, talents and other things about them that make them special. They also have their challenges. Their own mountains to climb. Children who have autism are no different. They just have autism.
We understand those challenges and are here to help you.
Our philosophy at MAC is one size does not fit all. We recognize your child for being that uniquely, special person who happens to have autism.
We are here to be your resource. Your confidants. Your partner as you navigate through next steps with your child and with your family.
We are here for you.
Keynote announced for February gala
We are excited to announce that our keynote for the inaugural Shining the Light on Autism gala will be former Minnesota Vikings player and Pro Football Hall of Famer John Randle.
John will share his personal story of how autism has affected his life and share anecdotes of what he’s learned along the way. We hope that you will join us for this evening to remember.
Share your evening with us as we shine the light on autism at the Minnesota Autism Center’s inaugural gala to raise funds to continue our work of providing services to children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder and their families. This event is open to the public and all proceeds will support MAC’s therapeutic services to children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder. Event details, the evening’s agenda and ticket information can be found on our gala event page.
