The Triumph Foundation was established in Brunswick, Georgia by Dr. and Mrs. Michael Lupi. It was founded to help provide services for individuals diagnosed with Autism or an Autism Spectrum Disorder. The Foundation is a non-profit 501C-3 organization.
Our Vision Statement is to Create a Center of Excellence for Autism which will include:
- Comprehensive therapeutic approach to interventional service
- Family support to carry out programs
- Provide familes with the knowledge of resources in the community for additional therapeutic activities
- Provide individual and group sessions to help families provide a more structured, safe and positive home environment.
- Provide support in obtaining financial assistance for therapy and respite care.
- Counseling and support for Nutritional management in the home
- Provide a safe, calm environment for children with disabilities to learn and develop.
Autism is one of the fastest growing childhood disorders in the United States, affecting as many as 1 in every 91 children, and continues to grow at a pace of 10-17% a year. At this rate, the ASA estimates that the prevalence of autism could reach 4 million people in the next decade, yet access to quality care and treatment remains inconsistent across the nation. It is crucial for these children and their families to have a community based support system. As we know personally, having a child with Autism can be very emotionally and physically debilitating for a family. Without community support, families will continue to struggle to find help with even the most routine daily tasks.
Due to the positive response to early intervention, we now have the opportunity to make a tremendous impact on individuals with Autism and an economic impact on our society. The lifetime net financial cost savings per individual who receives early intervention can be as much as 2 million dollars. The improved quality of life for individuals with Autism and their families is immeasurable.
Our Mission Our mission is to provide therapeutic services and support in a compassionate environment for children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorders and related disabilities. Also, provide support, education and respite care for families of these children.
