[edit] Objectives

TreeHouse has three basic strategic objectives:

  1. To serve children with autism by developing forms of teaching designed especially for them at TreeHouse School, the charity's flagship school in London.
  2. To help people with autism and their families gain a greater understanding of the effects of autism.
  3. To encourage national decision-makers and the general public to make wise, well-informed choices and to separate fact from fiction regarding those with autism.

[edit] Fundraising

There have been a number of fundraising efforts for TreeHouse, including an ongoing appeal for funds called "Ambitious About Autism".[2] In particular, author Nick Hornby, whose son has autism, has donated the proceeds from a number of his projects to the TreeHouse Trust.
