Welcome to the ASA-Greater Phoenix Chapter
The Autism Society of America - Greater Phoenix Chapter (ASA-GPC) is a group of people (mostly parents) who are dedicated to improving the quality of life of children and adults affected by autism by providing information, resources and support to the community, and especially to families affected by autism. Membership is open to parents, professionals, people on the spectrum, and their friends and supporters. It is a democratically-elected, grass-roots non-profit.
