The Foundation was started by a group of mothers who share a vision to help families access treatments for children with autism in Hawaii.  With Autism affecting 1 in 150 children, finding solutions is an urgent priority.  Working with volunteer legal professional, these moms established Beautiful Son Foundation as a non-profit, 501c(3), in December, 2007. Children in Hawaii have a particularly difficult time accessing these treatments due to geographic isolation & costs. 

The Beautiful Son Foundation’s mission is to educate and help families find and fund treatments for Autism Spectrum Disorders.
