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.
