About our AJF Community

The AJ Foundation has successfully provided essential services to children and adults with autism for over 20 years through its private school, The Comprehensive Learning Center. This is possible because of the support we have received from our amazing community. We couldn't make the difference we do without the help of our families, friends, and local businesses supporting our efforts!

In 2021, McHale's in Levittown, PA, supported The AJ Foundation by partnering with us for their McHales Cares Give Back Program.

Honoring A Founding Family

The AJ Foundation was formed by the family and friends of those with autism, and the support of their communities. One of our founders, Tony & Joan Canuso, have played a large role in forming the community of supporters we know today. The love they have for their grandson brings an infectious joy and energy to every event. Here, we take a moment to honor them and all they have done for The AJ Foundation and The Comprehensive Learning Center.
