Anova is Northern California’s only school with a specialized method for children with autism and related social, emotional, and behavioral needs. With autism now affecting one in 68 children, Anova’s services are needed more than ever. In addition to San Rafael, Anova has campuses in Santa Rosa and Concord, serving over 200 children and 500 families within 15 counties across the state. Anova implements a unique and highly effective model that was created by co-founder Andrew Bailey. Some students travel 50-100 miles one way each day to attend their schools and many families have moved from other parts of the country to enroll their child in their proprietary program. Please support Anova in their endeavor to build a world-class autism school and continue to help as many Bay Area families as possible. The CARE Campaign is spearheaded by several Anova parents, members of the community, and elected officials that are enthusiastic about building a state-of-the art autism school and treatment center in Marin County.
