The Riley Behavioral and Educational Center is a non-profit organization currently offering services at or below cost to families struggling with autism in Huntsville, AL, and the surrounding areas.

The prevalence of Autism, Pervasive Developmental Delay and other related disorders are currently at an epidemic level nationally, statewide and most alarmingly locally. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) recently reported that 1 in every 150 children are now diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. The CDC continues to track and monitor the increasing prevalence of Autism, Pervasive Development Delay and related disorders specifically in Alabama's northern 32 counties. We are burdened by the fact that what lies beneath this statistical discussion are the faces of children. These children can lead happy productive lives with proper intervention. Without effective intervention, they will face an incurable, lifelong disability, which will affect the dynamics of the entire family and our community.

Your donation will allow The Riley Center to continue offering our diagnostic and intervention services at or below cost to families and to extend these services to more children. No child should be denied the chance for an improved quality of life due to lack of treatment choices or economic restraints.
