Atlanta Autism Consortium

The Atlanta Autism Consortium is a nonprofit organization based in Atlanta, Georgia, founded in 2008. It focuses on connecting and supporting the diverse autism community in the Metro Atlanta area.

Purpose and Activities

The organization aims to foster greater understanding and collaboration among various stakeholders, including families, individuals with autism, researchers, clinicians, educators, and advocates. It produces free educational programs and events, such as workshops and webinars, to address topics relevant to the autism community. These programs cover a wide range of issues, including navigating disability benefits, early intervention, adult services, and future planning.

Historically, the Consortium's events were primarily in-person, but during the COVID-19 pandemic, they shifted to online formats, later adopting a hybrid model in 2022. This flexibility has allowed them to reach a broader audience and serve over 4,500 individuals through their free programs over the past few years.

Community Impact and Partnerships

The Atlanta Autism Consortium develops partnerships with other organizations to enhance its services and reach. By becoming a partner, businesses and organizations contribute to improving the lives of individuals with autism in Atlanta, while engaging with the community in meaningful ways. The Consortium's inclusive approach welcomes a diversity of perspectives to promote a positive impact on all stakeholders.

Membership and Donations

The organization offers membership opportunities and accepts donations to support its mission. Donations help fund crucial resources and support programs, fostering a more inclusive community for individuals with autism in the Atlanta area. Donors can choose one-time or recurring contributions to support these initiatives.
