Significantly expand our scope of services, as well as our geographic reach, particularly for teens and adults on the Autism Spectrum. Make each day better for each Autistic person.
Outreach
Expand our reach of services to families with persons on the Autism Spectrum across Wisconsin’s 72 counties and potentially beyond. Or: no Autistic left behind.
