At VAST, we are committed to supporting individuals with autism and the families who love them. Our work centers on bringing together the people, providers, and resources in our community to create a more informed, connected, and empowered support network.

We understand that navigating life with autism can be overwhelming. From early diagnosis to adulthood, every stage presents unique challenges—and opportunities for growth. Our mission is to ensure families and individuals are never alone on that journey.

  • “Parents of children with special needs create their own world of happiness and believe in things that others cannot yet see.” — Unknown

  • “Behind every young child who believes in themselves is a parent who believed first.” — Matthew Jacobson

  • “Inclusion is not bringing people into what already exists; it is making a new space, a better space for everyone.” — George Dei

OUR WORK

  • Helping families navigate evaluations, early intervention, and ongoing therapeutic services.

  • Offering training, resources, and outreach to build understanding and reduce stigma.

  • It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more.

  • Bridging gaps between families and the supportive networks that help them thrive.
