Easterseals Southwest Florida Launches Campaign for Compassion to Establish Autism Centers of Excellence
Easterseals Southwest Florida has announced the public phase of the Campaign for Compassion, an initiative to establish the Malcolm Family Autism Center of Excellence and the Bishop Parker Foundation Autism Center of Excellence. The campaign seeks to address the growing needs of families affected by autism and other intellectual and developmental disabilities.
A private event marking the initiative occurred on January 23, 2025, at Sarasota's Easterseals Southwest Florida campus. The project, supported by various philanthropic partners, will expand critical services, including early intervention, diagnostics, and specialized therapies.
Easterseals plans to break ground on the new centers in the spring of 2025, with an expected opening in 2026. These facilities will provide essential resources to families across Southwest Florida, fostering a community of compassion and access to specialized care.
For more information or to support the campaign, the community is encouraged to contact Easterseals Southwest Florida.
