ADAPT4Autism was founded in 2010 by Christina Gibson-Cipfl and Alice Howe. The goal of Chris, an autism educator, and Alice, a parent of a child with autism, was to create an organization specifically geared to assist families and children in Southwestern Illinois dealing with autism spectrum disorders. ADAPT4Autism provides educational programs and pro-social therapy to children with autism.
