Aiming for Acceptance has received some wonderful comments and support from many people since we began in 2016. The encouragement from the public has been amazing! Thanks to all those who support our efforts to provide resources for autistic children, their families and the community. 608-822-3015
"As the State Senator for the 17th Senate District, I am impressed by the hard work and commitment that the Aiming For Acceptance team has demonstrated to creatively meet the needs of rural families with the best resources available in our state. Your support for this organization will meet a critical need and support their efforts to improve the quality of life for children and families in our community."

"I have seen the need for increased services for those who are on the autism spectrum and those with sensory processing disorder in rural, Southwest Wisconsin. The Aiming for Acceptance Community Center will be a positive benefit for the citizens of our region."

State Representative
49th Assembly District
"In Wisconsin's rural communities, children with ASD and their families too often have no access the autism support services or information, other than what they find on the internet. The mission and plans of Aiming for Acceptance will go a long wa toward building necessary capacity to meet the needs of individuals affected by autism in Fennimore and potentially other rural communities."

"I enthusiastically support the Aiming for Acceptance Autism Learning Center project as a valuable and much needed resource. This Learning Center would fill a void. Due to the rural nature of southwest Wisconsin, opportunities for therapy, outside of school, are over an hour away, a transportation hardship for many parents."
