FEAT (Families for Effective Autism Treatment) was created “for families, by families” and offers support, education and programs for children with autism and their families and works with other agencies that have an autism focus. The funds raised from Outrunning Autism goes to support programs such as sports and social activities for children with autism as well as their camp for teens, Dreams in Motion.
