Horizon Over the Spectrum: Empowering Black Families on the Autism Journey

Welcome to Horizon Over the Spectrum

At Horizon Over the Spectrum, we believe every child on the autism spectrum deserves support, understanding, and opportunities to thrive. Founded by a mother and advocate with firsthand experience navigating autism, our nonprofit is dedicated to empowering Black families of children with autism, ages 2–14.

Why We Exist

Autism affects children from all backgrounds, but Black families often face unique challenges, including delayed diagnoses, limited access to resources, and cultural stigmas. We launched Horizon Over the Spectrum to bridge this gap—providing education, advocacy, and direct support to families who need it most.

Our Mission

Our goal is simple:

• Increase autism awareness within the Black community.

• Provide resources and support for families of newly diagnosed children.

• Create a safe space where families can connect, learn, and grow together.

How We Help

• Education & Resources – We share culturally relevant information about autism, including early signs, intervention strategies, and advocacy tips.

• Community Support – We offer workshops, virtual meetups, and local events to help families build a strong support network.

• Advocacy & Awareness – Through outreach and partnerships, we work to dismantle barriers to diagnosis and services for Black children with autism.

Join the Movement

Horizon Over the Spectrum is more than a nonprofit—it’s a community. Whether you’re a parent, educator, or advocate, we invite you to connect with us, share your story, and help create a world where every child on the spectrum feels seen and supported.
