The Hearts & Voices Giving Tree

Autism Awareness

Acceptance

& Advocacy

True progress goes beyond mere awareness. It means recognizing the diverse spectrum of Autism, honoring every unique journey and fostering deeper understanding with empathy and openness. It's about more than words. It's about being ready to make a difference and advocating for meaningful, inclusive change.

🌱 Our Story

After 9 years in the field of Applied Behavior Analysis, working closely with children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder and supporting their caregivers, our founder, Braden Arbuckle, witnessed both the strength of these families and the challenges they face each day.

Through these experiences, one truth became clear. Autism is often misunderstood, and many families navigate their journeys feeling isolated.

This realization led to the creation of The Hearts & Voices Giving Tree, an organization dedicated to strengthening connection and expanding support within the autism community by bringing together parents, caregivers, therapists including RBTs, OTs, PTs, and SPLs, as well as behavior analysts.

We deeply value the parent-led communities that already exist and the vital support they provide. Our mission is to build alongside them, ensuring families also feel supported by professionals who not only offer expertise, but who genuinely care, advocate, and celebrate each child and family’s journey.

By raising awareness, providing education, and fostering understanding beyond the autism community, we believe that when acceptance comes first, meaningful support follows.

At its core, The Hearts & Voices Giving Tree is about connection, compassion, and ensuring every voice is heard.

The Hearts & Voices Community

You don’t need to have a loved one on the spectrum to be part of this community.
You just need a heart that listens and a voice that cares.

"The greatness of a community is most accurately measured by the compassionate actions of its members."
