NO SEPTEMBER SUPPORT MEETING, Happy Labor Day!
The Board of Directors of the Autism Society of Pima County has elected to change our organization’s name to the Autism Society of Greater Tucson. This name change will not impact the programs, supports and services our community has come to expect and rely on. The decision was made to change our name in order to make our organization more recognizable on a state and national level as we advocate for individuals with autism and their families. The Autism Society of Greater Tucson is proud to be a strong, grassroots organization offering support to our local autism community. You will see both the old name and the new name as we make this transition, but rest assured we are the same organization with the same purpose.
