1 in 36 individuals is diagnosed with autism. It is estimated that over 10,000 are diagnosed locally. AutismUp is the leading not-for-profit autism support organization in the Greater Rochester and surrounding areas. Founded in 2004 by a small group of parents, the organization has grown to include more than 3,700 member households.
The mission of AutismUp is to support individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), and their families, by expanding and enhancing opportunities that improve quality of life. AutismUp specializes in customized social skill, readiness skill, supported fitness and recreation, and sensory integration programs, and offers a myriad of navigation, training and support services for parents, caregivers, siblings, first responders and professionals.
AutismUp is a founding partner of the Golisano Autism Center (GAC), which now houses our Multi-Sensory Learning Environment for individuals with autism, and their entire families! We offer innovative programs and equipment in a state-of-the-art, safe, sensory-friendly and highly supported environment. Skill development classes offered are designed for participants to have fun, be fit and make friends. The GAC is our "home base," open to the public and is an extension of our many community based programs, allowing us to offer programming seven days a week!
AutismUp aspires to provide the very best in autism support programs and services and aims to support peak performance at every age and ability. We know that every individual with autism is different, and we endeavor to match the level of support to each individual participant. Why do we know this? Because we are parents of children with autism too, and we get it.
Children with autism are growing up and becoming adults with autism. AutismUp is creating opportunities for individuals with autism and their families for a lifetime, including adult services. We are made for families, by families.
