Icare4autism - Autism Research, Education and A...

We are the International Center for Autism Research & Education, Inc. (Icare4autism), a global, non-profit organization based in New York City and founded by Joshua Weinstein in 2004. Through awareness and funding, Icare4autism works in partnership with similar institutions worldwide to discover the etiology of autism, search for the biologic and environmental causes of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and promote medical and educational practices to best serve people with autism and their families.

In spite of the progress made, there still have not been any major breakthroughs in early detection. Families looking for information are often overwhelmed with the amount of information available. Icare4autism was established to serve the community in this manner, gathering research projects, professional and scientific collaborations, promoting awareness and information, and developing programs for parents and professionals as well as training for teachers and therapists.

The number of children diagnosed with autism is growing by epidemic proportions. A new case is diagnosed every 20 minutes, or 24,000 new cases each year. We offer a strong sense of hope for children and families and our goal is to become the catalyst that drives scientific collaborations globally. Our organization endorses communication and collaboration between research institutions and public organizations world wide in order to promote detection and treatment.
