A-Hug Foundation

The ahug Foundation is a nonprofit organization founded in 2018 by Teri Liddell to support families of children diagnosed with autism. Inspired by her experience seeking answers and community after her son Cason’s diagnosis, Teri created the foundation to help other parents find information, encouragement, and practical assistance. The organization welcomes families at different stages of their journey, recognizing the challenges of caring for a child with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

The foundation offers autism-focused resources, referrals, articles, and family activities. Its website shares stories and guidance from Teri and guest authors, with topics including swimming safety and accessing education. Families can explore helpful products and services, apply for support, and connect with a broader community. Through donations and sponsorships, the ahug Foundation helps provide opportunities such as swim lessons and scholarships for school and speech therapy. It also invites people to volunteer, attend events, and contribute to its outreach. Overall, the organization aims to equip and encourage parents as they care for, love, and provide for their children.
