MAC Midwest (Minnesota Autism Center)

Every Gift Helps Children with Autism Thrive

At MAC Midwest, we believe every child on the autism spectrum deserves the opportunity to reach their fullest potential. Through compassionate therapy and a whole-person approach, we help children and families gain the skills and confidence to thrive at home, at school, and in their communities.

Your Gift Creates Real Change

When you give to MAC Midwest, you make progress possible for children and families affected by autism. Your donation helps us: 

• Expand Access – Reduce wait times and reach more families who need care now.
• Enhance Services – Strengthen programs like speech therapy, life skills, and family training.
• Create Opportunities – Help learners find their voice, build independence, and connect with others.

Why It Matters

Each day, learners at MAC Midwest are learning to communicate, build friendships, and participate more fully in the world around them. These are life-changing moments and your generosity makes them happen. 

Every gift, big or small, adds up to brighter futures.

One of our learners typically dislikes having new things in her hair, which can make brushing and styling a challenge. But today was different.  She not only tried new hair accessories, she let her therapist add braids and even helped by placing the clips herself. This small but powerful victory meant so much to her mom and her entire care team. Moments like this remind us why individualized care matters.

Isaac joined MAC Midwest in 2024 and this fall he headed off to kindergarten feeling confident. With the support of his care team and family, Isaac has made incredible strides in communication, self-care, and social skills. One of his biggest goals was being able to express his wants and needs. He’s doing just that.  These moments matter.
