Our Mission

Jack's Place

JACK’S PLACE for Autism Foundation is dedicated to fulfilling its mission of providing support, education, compassion, and a comprehensive array of services to help families cope with the day-to-day challenges of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), ultimately improving the quality of life for individuals and their families impacted by ASD.

Our Goal

Jim and Lisa

The Foundation’s Goal is to one day construct a campus-like environment for adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) where they can live a full and happy life, while learning independent skills so that they can take more control of their life. In addition, there would be facilities for caregivers and families visiting individuals living on campus.

What Is Autism

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurological disorder of the brain that typically appears before the age of three. It is referred to as a spectrum disorder because it comes in many different forms and severities. People with ASD have difficulty communicating with others and relating to the outside world. They may exhibit repeated body movements (hand flapping, rocking), have unusual responses to both people and objects, and resist change in daily routine. Many also experience unusual sensitivities to light, color, sound, touch, taste and smell.

Who are we helping?

JACK’S PLACE for Autism Foundation is a 501(c)3 Michigan Non-Profit that provides family services for persons at any age with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) through a comprehensive menu of supportive, educational, and referral services. The Foundation is a single source to provide families with needed support services, community initiatives, scholarships, and referrals. We constantly seek ways to raise Autism Awareness.
