Founded as a non-profit 501(c)3 organization in 1994, a group of parents and professionals in Iowa had come together to create new living and working opportunities for adults with autism. They researched other programs around the country and talked with experts in the field of autism. From these efforts Balance Autism took root.
Since that beginning 24 years ago, Balance Autism has evolved. Our capabilities have broadened. Our staff has increased. We now serve persons of all ages. As the field of autism research has evolved, we’ve brought its most effective solutions to the persons and families we serve.
And yet, as much as we’ve grown, our mission has only strengthened. We develop and implement innovative solutions to engage people with autism.
Our Core Values include being...
_ Passionate about people and autism
- Data Driven
