Brighter Futures

At Princeton Child Development Institute, our mission is to empower individuals with autism to achieve their full potential. Thanks to our evidence-based approach and individualized instruction, 43% of students who enroll before age 5 transition to public education settings and require little to no direct support from PCDI.

This year’s Annual Appeal celebrates the life-changing impact of our work, highlighting the success of students like Dylan, who transitioned to public school kindergarten and is now thriving in college. Your support helps us continue providing the resources and opportunities our learners need to build bright, independent futures.

Meet Dylan

When Dylan was diagnosed with autism at just 15 months old, his parents were uncertain about what the future might hold. Determined to give him the best start, they sought a program that could provide the support he needed—and found PCDI. Through PCDI’s comprehensive, compassionate, and evidence-based instruction, Dylan began to achieve important milestones. By age 5, he was ready to graduate from PCDI and transition to public school kindergarten.

Today, Dylan is thriving in college, studying information technology. PCDI equipped him with the skills and confidence to reach his full potential. For individuals like Dylan, who need intensive support to unlock their extraordinary potential, PCDI is there to pave the way for success. Together, we can create opportunities for brighter futures—your support makes all the difference.
