About F.A.S.T.

Through fund-raising events and the help of caring people, FAST supports specialized schools that offer autism programs.Since ALL children deserve the best education possible, FAST is accepting donations for our “Get Kids in FAST Program” To learn more about this and other services that FAST has to offer go to Fast4Kids.org or call us at (702) 269-0268.
With an estimated number of over 5,000 children in Nevada diagnosed with a form of autism, and 1 in 150 born nationwide, this is a problem that we intend to address! Since there in not yet a cure for autism, we need to help those who are dealing with this epidemic now! As with all children learning every day, Autistic children flourish in a structured environment. Several schools in southern Nevada took up the challenge to aid these kids and offer specialized schooling, but they are severely underfunded. Parents who cannot afford to send their children to these specialized schools now have a choice to send their children where they can learn at their own pace in an environment with their peers. With proper schooling autistic children can grow and develop to be active adults.
What is FAST? Fast is a group of individuals and parents who volunteer their time and efforts to raise money for scholarship programs for schools that offer Autism programs. Our mission statement: F.A.S.T. (Finding Autistic Solutions for Tomorrow) is a non-profit 501 (c) 3 organization established to aid in the awareness and education of the growing problem of autism. One of the main objectives of FAST is to hold fund raising events in order to raise money for scholarships and grants for children to attend specialized schools that offer Autism programs. Families faced with challenges of an autistic child have few avenues and limited resources to meet with these needs. FAST is committed to offering financial aid in the form of scholarships and grants to qualified schools in Southern Nevada.
