What we do is unique - no one else does it in the region, perhaps no one else anywhere. We are professional social workers and advocates that use a flexible social services model to comprehensively serve the needs of individuals with autism, ADHD, OCD, intellectual disability, Down syndrome, and other brain-based diagnoses, and to also drive system-wide change to improve outcomes for all mentally-diverse young people in our geographic area. The key to best-outcomes for mentally-diverse young people is a comprehensive, holistic, and individualized system of care and support that focuses on personal goals and quality of life, and that key is the service that we provide. We have a wide breadth of expertise and you can think of us as a one-stop shop for high-quality assistance for mentally-diverse young people and their families - we can help with almost anything.
SASSNA is a nonprofit organization and 501c3 charity, which means that we exist to serve, not to make money. Generally, we do not charge fixed fees for our services - instead, we ask that clients make payments based upon what they can afford. Essentially, you pay what you are able to. This allows everyone to access our services regardless of their financial situation. We also rely on fundraising and community donations to keep our doors open.
