Founded by Rick Martinez and Cynthia Maples in 2018, Life in Spectrum is a non-profit organization dedicated to helping children with ASD and their families around the world have better lives.
What began as a dedicated ASD day care center in Gladstone, Oregon, has since grown into an international network of volunteer-run day care centers specializing in the care of children with ASD. In addition to day care, the organization offers art therapy and recreation programs that can take place in any school or community center.
Life in Spectrum is funded by donations and meets the strictest financial management requirements of NGOs.

Total number of ASD programs initiated by our organization
With as little as US$5 a month, you can make a huge impact on a child's life. Your donation will help a child with ASD stay in daycare, receive personal care, food, and participate in art therapy classes.
When you support a program, you support 25 children with ASD and their families. Your donation will help our program run smoothly and continue to provide rehabilitation help to those in need.
We are committed to helping children with ASD and their families, wherever they are, to live their lives as normally as possible.
We also advocate for ASD-tailored care and education as a means to great progress and success. Our programs have been proven to help children with varying degrees of autism interact and socialize more. We believe that there is always hope.
Consider contributing as little or as much as possible. Every dollar you donate goes to keep our programs and ASD rehabilitation efforts going.
