Our Long-Term Goals

As a statewide organization, we’re passionately focused on the expansion and growth beyond any chronological date — but also to expand our reach to every family in Wisconsin that needs our support.

Expansion

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.

Budgeting

As 2025 marks 50 years of organizational service to Autism Spectrum persons and families, our goal is to celebrate this accomplishment by increasing our operating budget $50,000 this year — or “50,000 Cheers for 50 Years.”
