Autism Support

Our story begins with a child named Jack. Diagnosed with autism in 2005, Jack’s parents, Kim and Randy Wolf, struggled to find the right therapies to support their son. After searching across the country, the Wolfs brought together leading experts to create an individualized, interdisciplinary at-home program.

Jack’s progress was transformative. The customized, interdisciplinary model of care they established in a home setting would eventually form the basis of Turning Pointe’s approach. Determined to share these life-changing interventions with others, the Wolfs united volunteers, experts, and the local community to establish Turning Pointe Autism Foundation in 2007.

The foundation has expanded from its humble beginnings with a few students into a much larger Naperville campus led by a team of clinical experts, serving more than 120 individuals, 500 families, and training thousands of first responders. We are dedicated to creating best-practice learning environments that foster independence, improve communication, encourage socially appropriate behaviors, and address the lifelong continuum of needs for individuals on the autism spectrum.

And Jack? He is also thriving. He is now a young adult, avid recreational skier, and works part-time pressing shirts and packing coffee and pumpkin kits with friends at Turning Pointe.
