Knowledge for People-World Autism Education

Imagine having a child with autism and not even knowing what autism is or what to do about it? Many kids with autism in developing countries aren't allowed in school, are misunderstood, and are often ostracized by their community. Our goal is to provide these communities w/ a greater understanding of autism and ways to manage its effects by providing outreach, education, and support. This includes evidence based trainings to organizations in need.

Life? Donates to Knowledge for People!!

Dan and I are very fortunate to have Teddy Van Orman as a friend. Teddy is as hard working and optimistic as a person can get. Not only does he continue to spread his positive energy every day as a person and through his work at Life?, but Teddy has decided that 10% of the purchase price to anything bought in the Life? store will be donated to Knowledge for People! We can't thank Teddy enough. After checking out Life?, be sure to also visit Teddy's inspirational photography website, TBVOphoto.
