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.

March 2025. Autism Evansville will be highlighting the families we have the pleasure of serving through our new series: **Family of the Month Spotlight**.
We hope to gain awareness and acceptance of the conversation regarding autism, as well as allow our organization, Autism Evansville, to engage, highlight, and celebrate the autism community that we serve. 💕
In addition, we hope to educate our community to see that autism doesn’t have a “look” and that we should never judge a book by its cover.

*MARCH FAMILY OF THE MONTH SPOTLIGHT*
Hi, my name is Isabella, but my family calls me Bella. I love the ABC's and lining my toys in a neat perfect line.
I'm nonverbal, but that doesn't stop me. My family knows what I need and want, and I'll even lead them to what I want.
I enjoy doing the Autism Walk! I'm scared to do SkyZone and cMoe. I don't like crowds and try to elope. My mom had to educate the police department about me because I like sneaking out. I love my family! -Bella
———————————————————————-
🩷TO BE FEATURED AS FAMILY OF THE MONTH:
🩷Email a family photo & short bio (you can include as much or as little info as you want) and we will post on our socials and website.

3.21.25. Six to seven months worth of hard work behind the scenes goes into planning our yearly fundraising event: Taking Steps For Autism Walk & 5K, presented by Field & Main Bank & 14 NEWS.
One of the planning aspects is the safety & security for our families while attending the big day.
Our friends at Evansvilles Finest LLC., Law Enforcement Services have graciously offered to once again provide security for our event, with assistance from the Vanderburgh County Sheriff's Office. Families will see multiple deputies on site for the big day, simply there for extra safety to protect our families and watch for elopement.
We are grateful for the dedication of our law enforcement partners to our autism community!
Thank you for your support! 💙
See you next month at our big day!
