OUR STORY:

The Autism Society of the RMWB originated from a group of parents looking to create a network of supports for families in our community. Today, the organization offers programming for children and adults of all differing abilities and has the capacity to assist families and individuals to navigate additional services, as well as support them through their journey. By providing a variety of educational presentations as well as engaging in community events, we continue to strive to create an inclusive community.
