Working in a psychiatric hospital that primarily serves neurotypical children, we here at NYP have seen the dire need for additional supports, education and resources to appropriately and effectively help children on the spectrum. We have seen many patients with Autism and other psychiatric diagnoses come into the hospital with great difficulty accessing the resources needed to support children and families in their journey. 

Please join the Nichols Team from the children's psychiatric unit at NYP, by donating to help me reach my fundraising goal. Together, we have the power to enhance the lives of people with autism and make a meaningful difference. Thanks so much for your support!
