We are in the process of planning the 2025 Taking Steps for Autism Walk & 5K. We couldn’t celebrate our autism community without our dedicated sponsors, vendors, volunteers, and first responders. We love serving you! See you at the walk!!
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.
4.18.25. We’d like to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone for their patience and understanding in rescheduling the event due to weather and safety concerns. Your safety is our number one priority!
