In 1995 Murray D. Wikol and Nannette Wikol started the Autistic Children’s Treatment (ACT) Network to help children with autism, their families, and professionals. Their vision was that families and professionals would have a place to turn to for assistance. In 1992 their daughter, Anika, was diagnosed with autism. Murray and Nan were given only the diagnosis, no resources or referrals to guide them as they began their journey. It is because of this that they wanted to help other families.

The ACT Network is a non-profit Michigan 501 (c) (3) organization. The board of directors is composed of volunteers who are unpaid for their time and effort. All donations are tax deductible.

A part of the ACT Network’s Mission is to provide quality intervention services to children with autism and their families. In 2001 the ACT Network opened up The Early Intervention Center (EIC) to fulfill this portion of the mission. The EIC’s dedicated staff provides center-based services based on the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA).

The second part of the ACT Network’s Mission is to field inquiries on issues related to autism (from parents and professionals) and to respond with useful information and referrals. Please see our resource page for links to information regarding autism, current research, ABA, diagnoses, Individualized Education Plan, (IEPs) and more.
