Defeat Ignorance. Embrace Differences. Conquer Stigmas

05/28/2026

Supporting 250 families each year, SAAAC’s Walk-A-Thon funds our Case Management and Caregiver Skills Training (CST) programs—providing families with early support, practical tools, and guidance as they navigate autism services.

Case Management helps families understand and access services, funding, education, and healthcare supports, while CST equips caregivers with hands-on strategies to support their child’s development at home.

Together, these programs ensure families receive timely, accessible support when they need it most.

Join us, fundraise, and help make this support possible 💙
