A Caring Commitment

At Kelberman, we support autism acceptance in our community and provide autism support and services through all stages of life. We wouldn’t be able to continue our mission without the generous gifts from individuals and organizations.

The Leadership Circle is a group of individuals and organizations who have committed $1,000 or more to our annual support. With these gifts, we are able to meet the needs of more than 1,000 children, adults, and their families throughout Central New York.

Like many families, our first exposure to Autism was a personal one.

Our community has the strength, compassion and love to accomplish extraordinary things, and Kelberman is a reminder of that.

Dr. Michael Kelberman
