The Alexandra Dilger

Annual Award

For neurodiverse young adults determined to reach a specific goal.

The Alexandra Dilger Award was created by Gale and Patrick Dilger in memory of their daughter, Alexandra, to recognize and support neurodiverse* young adults who strive for greater independence while reaching for their dreams.

The award provides recipients with items or services to aid them in achieving their goals. Previous recipients have received modified laptop computers, adaptive driving lessons and specialized tools and equipment for a trade or business.

Nominations open thru April 28th. Please click here for more information and nomination forms.

*Neurodiversity includes autism, I/DD, anxiety, depression, ADHD as well as other diagnosis.

 A Little Compassion Inc’s mission is to change the lives of young adults with autism, intellectual/developmental disabilities or neurodiversity by creating employment and social opportunities that nurture their unique skills, strengths and preferences. We will also take the lead in increasing public awareness and acceptance that young adults with disabilities are vital and valuable community members.
