Fundraisers like Ante Up For Autism allow the school to sustain classroom needs and provide scholarships to families in our community. TCAP is a 501(c)3 not for profit organization dedicated to helping children with autism and their families on the Treasure Coast. The demand for our program continues to grow each year.
 
All proceeds from the event will go directly back into the program to enrich the quality of education and school environment for each child, as well as provide additional opportunities.
 
TCAP is a 501(c)3 non-profit that creates events to raise awareness of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and provide financial assistance to local families, schools and programs committed to helping the needs of those affected by this growing disorder. 
 
TCAP provides children living with autism on the Treasure Coast an educational opportunity that is suitable to each child’s unique, academic, therapeutic and social needs. The school was created by a dedicated group of parents and professionals committed to supporting educational programs, community involvement and providing resources for services.
 
Autism is defined as a complex developmental disorder distinguished by difficulties with social interaction, verbal and nonverbal communication and behavioral problems, including repetitive behaviors, and having a narrow focus of interest.

“My son Hayden, has made amazing progress in the four years he has attended TCAP.  He went from hiding in a corner, not wanting to talk or associate with peers, to making friends and playing with classmates on the playground. Hayden has made such huge strides, this year he is part of the safety patrol team and is playing a musical instrument in band. The program has been a tremendous blessing for our family as we have seen our child blossom from a withdrawn child into a confident shining star. We couldn’t be more proud of him and know this program has made a great impact on our son!”  ~ Kim Ruperto (parent/active volunteer and advocate)
