Who We Are

Madison House Autism Foundation addresses the needs of adults with autism by providing practical solutions, hope, and guidance for individuals affected by autism, as well as their families. We strive to create awareness of the challenges adults and their families face by involving ourselves in our surrounding community and making space for these individuals. Our focus is on finding, developing, and promoting the solutions that allow adults with autism to live as independently as possible, find and hold jobs, become involved in their communities, and become participating members of our society.

We love our volunteers! Their service expands the impact we have in the community well beyond what we can achieve alone. We have a wide variety of opportunities for both individuals and groups who would like to offer their time and talents to move our mission forward. Learn more about ways you can help below!
