For over 25 years, Autism Society NWPA has provided support for individuals and families living with an autism spectrum disorder in Erie, Crawford, Venango, and Mercer Counties.
As a local organization, Autism Society NWPA provides individuals and families with support, referrals, mentors, education, and most importantly a community of understanding. We are continuing to make efforts to increase our supports across the lifespan for individuals and families living with an autism spectrum disorder.
We are creating a world where everyone in the Autism community is connected to the support they need, when they need it.
