Hudson Valley Autism Society

The Hudson Valley Autism Society is dedicated to serving the needs of the autism community in and around the Hudson Valley Region of New York. We are often the first point of contact for families that are new to this area and looking for resources. Through our own programming and referral to other local organizations, and through our grant program, we help people on the autism spectrum and their families feel supported, and find caring communities.

MISSION

Our mission is to promote lifelong access and opportunities for people on the autism spectrum and their families, so they can be fully participating, included members of their communities. We do this through advocacy, public awareness, education, and compassionate support.

VISION

Our vision is to be the voice and resource for everyone who interacts with the autism community in the Hudson Valley Region. Locally, we are sustaining and growing our resource center to be a place for anyone who needs information about autism, that brings together members of the autism community. Statewide, we will be the driving force behind the development of a network of resources that promotes quality of life and opportunities for positive social experiences.

We serve the following seven counties in the Hudson Valley area are:

Columbia, Dutchess, Greene, Orange, Putnam, Sullivan, and Ulster County
