Community Need
The gaps we’re addressing in Springfield and surrounding communities.
Many individuals with autism face limited access to sensory-friendly environments where they feel safe, understood, and included in community life.
Families and caregivers often struggle to find reliable guidance, education, and peer support to navigate services and advocate effectively for their loved ones.
There is a critical need for structured programming that helps individuals with autism build confidence, social skills, and practical life skills that support long-term independence.
Programs & Services
- Inclusive Community Events – sensory-friendly social activities.
- Family Support & Resources – workshops and resource navigation.
- Advocacy & Awareness – community education and outreach.
Founders’ Statement
Treyson’s Ausome Foundation was established from our shared experience as parents and from a deep awareness of the gaps that exist for individuals with autism and their families. As parents navigating autism support systems firsthand, we have seen how limited access to inclusive spaces, reliable resources, and structured programming can create barriers not only for children with autism, but for entire families.
The foundation is named in honor of our son, Treyson, who shares a birthday with his father and represents the greatest gift we have ever received. That connection is more than symbolic it is the foundation of our purpose. Treyson’s journey has shaped our understanding of what families truly need: acceptance, opportunity, and environments where individuals with autism are supported in developing confidence, independence, and a sense of belonging.
Through Treyson’s Ausome Foundation, we are committed to creating inclusive, sensory-friendly community spaces; strengthening family and caregiver education and support; and advancing advocacy and awareness that promote understanding and equity. Our programs are designed to address real community needs while empowering individuals with autism to build life skills and meaningful connections that support long-term independence.
Our work is guided by compassion, lived experience, and a commitment to sustainable, community-based solutions. With the partnership and support of funders, Treyson’s Ausome Foundation seeks to expand access, reduce isolation, and create lasting impact for individuals with autism and their families throughout Springfield and the surrounding communities.
