2,000 Reasons to Give

We’ve helped 2,000 children unlock their potential.
Give 2,000 to help us reach 2,000 more.

     At McCarton, we believe every child deserves the chance to meet their full potential. Since first opening our Bronx Center in 2018, we’ve helped more than 2,000 children take their first steps, say their first words, and begin their journeys toward independence — all at no cost to their families. But what we’ve achieved together goes far beyond milestones.

     What distinguishes McCarton is our unique public–private model and unparalleled excellence in clinical standards. This approach allows every charitable dollar raised to generate ten dollars of high-quality, world-class therapy services for children with autism and developmental delays.

     Early intervention doesn’t just change lives — it changes futures. By reaching children before age three, McCarton’s approach reduces the lifetime cost of autism by nearly two-thirds, saving an estimated $2 million per child. That means the progress of these 2,000 children represents more than $4 billion in lifetime savings for families, schools, and communities — changed lives and immeasurable joy for parents who finally hear their children say, “I love you.”

     Now, we’re asking you to help us reach 2,000 more.

“Before McCarton, my little boy couldn’t tell me what he wanted or how he felt. Every day was a guessing game, and I used to go to bed wondering if I’d ever hear his voice. But now, because of the love and patience of his teachers and therapists and assistants at McCarton, he looks at me and says, ‘Mama, I love you.’ Those three words changed everything. McCarton didn’t just give my son a voice; they gave our family a new life.”
