Who We Are

On February 27, 2008, the New York Metro Chapter of the National Autism Association (NAA) was formed.

The NAA is dedicated to educating and empowering families affected by autism and other neurological disorders; advocacy; and raising public and professional awareness.

Embracing these core principles, the New York Metro Chapter will focus on the following goals during 2008:

1. To be a resource to families, educators, and caregivers affected by Autism Spectrum Disorders.

2. To educate parents, educators and caregivers on meeting the varied needs of children with Autism Spectrum Disorders and on the many available treatments for children on the Spectrum and children with other neurological disorders.

Chapter meetings are held every month.
