The Autism Society Ventura County was founded in 1994 by local parents, educators and professionals to help support newly-diagnosed families and develop needed local resources.
Previously known as the Ventura County Autism Society (VCAS), the organization is a non-profit and recognized affiliate of the Autism Society of America.
The mission of the Autism Society Ventura County is to improve the lives of all affected by Autism. We work to promote lifelong access and opportunity for all individuals within the autism spectrum and their families to be fully included members of the community.
ASVC achieves this through education, advocacy, a variety of programs, increasing public awareness, and collaboration with other agencies.
ASVC programs are primarily for individuals, families and caregivers who have people in their lives with autism of all ages. We also collaborate with service providers, agency staff, educators and teachers, and professionals who are interested in furthering the mission of ASVC.
Our programs are open to any individual, family, or community member impacted by autism. The people who invest their time in ASVC are mostly volunteers. Our Board consists of all dedicated volunteers.
