Our Charities
Autism
AIND/Giant Steps School (Southport, CT) and Hall-Brooke Behavioral Health Services
(Westport, CT), a wholly owned subsidiary of St. Vincent's Health Services,
are working together to develop services for the evaluation and treatment of individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders.
The goal of these two organizations is to offer a continuum of diagnostic, assessment, medical, behavioral,
rehabilitation and support services to children and teens of all ages who have been diagnosed with an Autism
Spectrum Disorder and other pervasive developmental disorders or for those individuals and their families in
need of an evaluation or diagnosis. The programs will be offered with a multidisciplinary treatment approach
to ensure clients access the necessary treatment and support resources within the program and the greater treatment community.
Proceeds from The Fairfield County Concours d'Elegance will support the research,
implementation and capital development of the program for both organizations
through The Drive to Treat Autism Fund.
AIND/Giant Steps
 In 1992, the American Institute for Neuro-Integrative Development (AIND), was formed as a
501(c)(3) Connecticut not-for-profit corporation to develop Giant Steps CT School, and to support
other education, medical research, and advocacy efforts to enhance the lives of individuals diagnosed with
Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), developmental disabilities, and related neurological impairments.
Giant Steps CT is a Connecticut State-approved private school for students diagnosed
with ASD and/or other neurological impairments, ages 3-21 years. We provide our students with
a uniquely comprehensive program to meet their individual educational and therapeutic needs,
while supporting meaningful inclusion and participation in their home school district and community.
