The Fred Foundation is a tiny charity that gives grants to families towards running accredited Verbal Behaviour programs such as a Dr Patrick McGreevy Ph.D, BCBA-D VB type programs that teach functional language and life skills in the natural environment and are driven solely by the individual child’s motivations. (NOT aversive Lovaas style ABA programs – rigid and cruel – taking place in one room etc. Please do not ask us to help fund these types of programs).
Due to shortage of funds we are giving priority to families who are working towards a Special Educational Needs Tribunal to achieve Local Authority funding for their child. If you live in the UK and have an autistic child with complex needs and have never received funds from us and are appealing for specialist provision for your child, then please email us on thefredfoundation@gmail.com
