Pike Autism Support Services
The mission of Pike Autism Support Services is to provide individuals with autism and related intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) with social, recreational, educational, housing and employment opportunities.
We envision a day when individuals with autism and IDD enjoy fulfilling and independent lives, embracing
emotional well-being, interpersonal relationships, social inclusion, personal growth, self-determination,
and individual rights.
Committed
We are committed to making our voices heard locally and regionally by collaboratively working with our Governmental agencies, that they may better understand our needs and how to address them.
We are committed to educating children and adults within the framework of current best practices and high expectations, always assuming intelligence.
Dedicated
We are dedicated to improving the quality of life for persons with ASD and other IDD through acceptance, respect, encouragement and love.
We are dedicated to empowering parents, encouraging caregivers, developing advocates and partnering with professionals.
We Believe
We believe that “Raising Autism Awareness” opens doors to compassion, understanding, acceptance and respect.
It is our hope that persons on the spectrum enjoy a quality of life that provides them with such core life conditions as physical well-being, emotional well-being, interpersonal relations, social inclusion, personal growth, material well-being, self-determination, and individual rights.
We believe that the future of persons with Autism Spectrum Disorders should not be pre-determined by their diagnosis but rather by their great potential, allowing them every opportunity to develop that potential to its fullest, whatever that may be.
