Autism Evansville

Forever improving the lives of individuals and families affected by autism spectram disorder through partnerships for support, treatment and care.

VOUCHER PROGRAM
Our Voucher Program is available for individuals age 21 and under who live in our service area of Posey, Gibson, Warrick, Spencer, Pike and Vanderburgh counties in Indiana. This program is not based solely on financial need. We encourage anyone who struggles to pay for autism services for their child to submit an application. We accept applications during the months of May and November with recipients being notified in June and December.

MONTHLY PARENT/CAREGIVER SUPPORT GROUP
Autism Evansville conducts a monthly parent/caregiver support group on the second Thursday of each month (unless otherwise noted). This support group is designed to bring together parents, grandparents and guardians of children with autism spectrum disorder to discuss shared challenges and offer support to one another. Each month we discuss a different issue associated with ASD while sharing ideas and suggestions for dealing with the topic at hand. Check the Calendar for the topic of the month and meeting location.

FAMILY FUN ACTIVITIES
Our Family Fun Activities bring individuals who have autism spectrum disorder, their siblings and parents together in a supportive recreational environment. It’s a time that provides children and adolescents on the spectrum with opportunities for positive social interaction beyond the school setting and standard community recreation programs.

Because Autism Evansville understands the challenges of entertaining the whole family at one time, parents of children affected by ASD are invited to bring the family to these events, where they will enjoy themselves in a setting that gives everyone a sense of belonging. These FREE events are held throughout the year at Plaza Park School, (7301 Lincoln Avenue, in Evansville), The Children’s Museum of Evansville (CMOE), and Walther’s Golf & Fun. Families register at the door.

*NOTE - 2021 Programming & Events

Due to the continued restrictions from the State of Indiana in regards to COVID-19, our Family Fun & Parent Support programs are suspended until August 2021. We will review the situation throughout the year and make the appropriate changes.
