What we doOur mission is to ensure that all children and adults with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD's) & other developmental disabilities (DD's) have every opportunity to thrive and become productive members of society. We do this by helping families access ASD & DD health insurance benefits, effective services in schools, and supportive community-based services, regardless of their personal financial situation.How we do itBy providing pro bono guidance, counseling, coordination, training, resources, and legal support to families and professionals, to help them attain effective autism treatment and socially significant rehabilitative programs statewide.What your support makes possibleWashington State has an estimated 15,500 children with ASD, and many of them are from low-income families. We want every one of them, rich or poor, to have an equal chance to thrive and succeed in life. With your support, WAAA can: Provide both full-service insurance navigation and education case management free of charge, enabling families in need all across Washington to receive critical health and education benefits to care for their autistic children.
