Autism Evansville is a nonprofit organization committed to serving families affected by autism across seven counties in southwest Indiana: Vanderburgh, Posey, Gibson, Warrick, Pike, Spencer, and Knox.
Families may often feel lost, isolated, and don’t know what steps to take upon receiving a diagnosis. That’s where we come in. See our four autism-centered community programs below and visit the First Steps Upon Receiving An ASD Diagnosis tab to take the first steps to give your child the tools they need to thrive.
Forever improving the lives of individuals and families affected by autism spectrum disorder through partnerships for support, treatments, and care.
Autism Evansville has a passion for those affected individuals and their families. Our executive director, board of directors, and other volunteers oversee and administer all programs. Through partnerships with service providers, schools, and the local community, we carry out our mission.
Autism Evansville events bring individuals and families who have autism spectrum disorder, their siblings, and parents/caregivers together in a supportive recreational environment.

I've never been to one of these sensory Sundays. I have to ask- what's the turn out for these sorts of things? Hundreds and hundreds? Are the crowds really bad? Could it get overwhelming? I just recently joined (didn't know it existed!) You guys have thousands of followers, and I'm thinking the worst (in terms of crowds). Id appreciate the insight! Thanks!

12.23.24. Last week, VS Engineering made a donation to Autism Evansville.
Presenting the check to our executive director, Kelsey Schapker (R), is Tara (L) whose son is on the spectrum.
Tara's stepfather, Dale, works for VS Engineering, and Autism Evansville is incredibly grateful for the support from our families and the companies they work for. Thank you to VS Engineering, Dale and Tara! ❤️ We love serving families like yours!

12.22.24. Autism Evansville would like to thank our Sensory Santa 🎅🏻 and all of our families who attended the event the last two weekends!
With a new environment at our quiet office space, we served many happy families, and there were lots of big smiles, like this one! ⬇️
Special thanks to our assistant, Missy, for her help in taking photos for the families.
Happy Holidays!

Thank you so much for these pictures for a social story! Definitely helping us this morning with apprehensive kiddos. The extra effort is so noticed and appreciated truly. 💗
Thank you for this event. I can remember meltdowns at the mall or years we have skipped going to see Santa. This is so relaxed. I love how comfortable our kiddos feel.
