Who We Are
The South Sound Autism Partnership is a collaboration between local agencies, organizations and community stakeholders with a vested interest in autism within the South Puget Sound area of Washington State.
Our Goals
- To link and strengthen the existing resources in the South Puget Sound area that serve individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD's) and their families.
- To identify the needs of individuals with ASD's and their families not currently being met and develop resources to meet those needs.
- To provide comprehensive education to individuals, families, and service providers regarding the support of individuals with ASD’s throughout the lifespan.
- To identify individuals and families who are not currently being served or do not have access to existing resources.
