During this 2012 holiday season, both campuses of Developmental Disabilities Institute’s Young Autism Program were able to extend a helping hand to families that were in need this year.

Numerous families were identified for the YAP Gives Back Giving Tree endeavor and asked to write down the things that their children needed, and – of course – wanted, for the holidays. An “ornament” was created for each child’s wish and staff members were able to purchase and wrap the items for the children.
