Welcome to Autism Evansville
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.
Our Mission Statement
Forever improving the lives of individuals and families affected by autism spectrum disorder through partnerships for support, treatments, and care.
According to the CDC, 1 in 36 individuals are diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder.
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.
We offer a supportive, recreational environment for individuals and families.
Autism Evansville events bring individuals and families who have autism spectrum disorder, their siblings, and parents/caregivers together in a supportive recreational environment.

Is there an email address to contact your group? I have an issue I want to discuss, and I'm much better at writing things out. Thank you
Hi I am new here I am raising my granddaughters age 3 and 1. We moved here from Florida and my 4 year pediatrician was concerned where can I get her tested? Any recommendations.

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.0 CommentsComment on Facebook
