Support
The diagnosis of Autism is an emotional one for families, and the Rochester Area Autism Association wants individuals and families to recognize that they are not without help.
We strive to support families and individuals with autism
At the Rochester Area Autism Association, we connect families to essential resources, offering guidance on navigating educational and community systems, and providing opportunities for social connection.
We also host workshops, support groups, and community events designed to empower families, reduce stress, and foster confidence in advocating for their loved ones. Above all, our goal is to ensure that every individual with autism feels understood, valued, and supported, and that families have the knowledge and tools they need to help their children thrive.
