SPECTRUM PROUD is committed to making sure every child receives high-quality autism
behavioral evaluations and diagnostic care, regardless of their family’s financial situation.
Our Mission
Our mission is simple but urgent: we seek charitable donations of cash and
other property earmarked for support of the charitable initiative known as the
SPECTRUM PROUD project, and to make disbursements in furtherance of the project’s mission to directly subsidize timely, high-quality comprehensive autism diagnostic
evaluations for every family, regardless of income, insurance status, or geographic location.
Our Story
Operating under fiscal sponsorship by a 501(c)(3) non-profit, Social Good Fund, the SPECTRUM PROUD social impact program has a bold vision: to transform the landscape of autism diagnostics, giving hope and answers to thousands of economically challenged families across the nation, particularly in rural areas and underserved communities. Every dollar donated goes directly towards providing comprehensive
autism behavioral evaluations and culturally
responsive care for families in need.
Our Kids
The accelerating rate of autism diagnoses is a
significant concern. 1 in every 31 U.S. children are now identified with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), according to the CDC. Yet, the average cost of a comprehensive evaluation ranges from $3,500 to $6,000, and most behavioral health providers do not accept Medicaid or private health insurance because reimbursement rates do not cover clinical costs. Families are often left with an impossible choice:
pay thousands of dollars out of pocket or forgo early intervention that could change a child’s future.
Our Solution, under the Social Good Fund’s fiscal sponsorship, ensures that no child is turned away due to financial hardship. Through this charitable program, donations directly subsidize 100% of the cost for autism spectrum diagnostic evaluations
for families nationwide experiencing economic
challenges.
Your Impact
Your charitable contribution to SPECTRUM PROUD enables:
- Early, accurate diagnoses that empower families with answers and access to care.
- Expanded rural and bilingual access to Ph.D.-
level behavioral health specialists.
- Equity in neurodiverse healthcare; turning
diag¬nosis into a right, not a privilege.
Social Good Fund’s SPECTRUM PROUD program seeks to eliminate waitlists and make high-
quality autism evaluations more affordable and
accessible for families across the nation. Help us end the worrying and waiting, and give hope to all families, regardless of income, insurance status, or geographical location. We invite you to be part of this transformative movement.
