About DCASA
DCASA’s mission is to improve the quality of life for people with autism through advocacy, public awareness, education, and activities that promote community integration.
DCASA provides monthly support meetings for parents, siblings, and other caregivers to freely discuss their unique needs and interests. Speakers representing various educational, healthcare, and social service agencies are frequently invited to update the group on relevant issues.
DCASA also conducts workshops for service providers who work with individuals who have autism and exhibits at health fairs and autism awareness events.
The organization is a strong advocate for local and federal legislation to provide services for citizens of the District of Columbia who have autism. One of the crowning achievements of DCASA is its summer camp program.
The District of Columbia Chapter of the Autism Society of America is open to all who provide care for children and adults with autism.
