Get your Walden School Greeting Cards!
At CADEF, our mission is to improve the lives of individuals affected by autism, through the development of resources which provide opportunities for diagnosis, treatment, education, training, social involvement and research.

The Childhood Autism Foundation is an organization whose primary function is to fund programs which benefit individuals and families affected by autism.

The Foundation does not directly operate the assistance programs, but has taken responsibility for providing funds to various organizations, like the Emory Autism Resource Center and the Walden School, whose programs have proven beneficial to children with autism and their families.

Student Greeting Cards are now available for purchase. You can view the slide show and buy the cards in packs of eight.
