Safety Skills for Individuals with ASD

Els for Autism was established in 2009 by Former World No.1, World Golf Hall of Famer, and four-time Major Champion, Ernie Els, his wife, Liezl, and Publisher and Founder of M. Shanken Communications Marvin R. Shanken. The Els’ son, Ben, is impacted by autism, which affects 1 in 36 children in the United States*. The Els’ daughter, Samantha (Sam), also plays an active role in the organization as the co-founder of our sibling support group, Sam’s Sibs Stick Together. Els for Autism offers innovative, evidence-based programs for families and individuals across the lifespan in three primary impact areas: Early Intervention & Educational Services, Recreation Services, and Adult Services. We serve families around the world, offering virtual services and in-person programs and services at The Els Center of Excellence campus in Jupiter, Florida.
