GRANTS TO INDIVIDUALS WERE MADE TO ENABLE CHILDREN, TEENS AND ADULTS TO SEEK RESPITE CARE AND ATTEND SUMMER CAMPS, AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAMS AND SPECIALTY CAMPS. GRANTS TO ORGANIZATIONS WERE MADE FOR AUTISM PROGRAMS THAT FOCUS ON SOCIAL SKILLS, EMPLOYMENT TRAINING, SUMMER RESPITE PROGRAMS, AND LIFE-SKILLS PROGRAMS.
