Averi Speaks promotes autism awareness, education, resources, and inclusion.

Every Voice Deserves to Be Heard
Promoting autism awareness, education, resources, and inclusion for every family.
OUR STORY
Averi Speaks began with one family’s journey to understand, support, and advocate for their child with autism. Along the way, we saw how the lack of awareness, inclusion, and resources created unnecessary barriers — especially for families in underserved communities. What began as a personal mission grew into a nonprofit committed to breaking down those barriers and ensuring that no family walks this path alone.
Who We Are
Averi Speaks is a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting autism awareness, education, resources, and inclusion. We believe every voice deserves to be heard, every family deserves support, and every child deserves the opportunity to thrive. Our team is made up of passionate parents, educators, and advocates who know this journey firsthand and are committed to creating lasting change.
Why We Exist
Too many families feel overwhelmed or isolated when navigating autism. Our mission is to ensure no one walks this journey alone. Through accessible resources, educational programs, and community events, we provide families with the knowledge, connections, and hope they need to thrive.

What We Stand For
The name AVERI represents our five core pillars
A - Awareness💡
V - Voice 🎤
E - Education 📘
R - Resources 🧩
I - Inclusion 🤝
These pillars guide every program, event, and resource we provide. They are the foundation of Averi Speaks and the promise we carry into our community every day.






A Note from Our Founder
"As a mother and advocate, I know firsthand the challenges and victories that come with autism. That’s why I started Averi Speaks, to create a place where families are not just supported, but truly seen. My hope is that through Averi Speaks, every family finds support, every voice finds strength, and every child is seen for the amazing person they are."
— April Toefield, Founder & CEO
