Who We Are
Autism Pensacola is a Florida 501(c)(3) nonprofit that offers resources, programs, and services to children and families affected by autism in the Gulf Coast area. Our reach spans a five-county area: Escambia, Santa Rosa, Okaloosa, and Walton counties in Florida, and Baldwin County, Alabama.
What We Do
Autism Pensacola is the premiere source of autism resources and information and helps families through the maze of services available to them. From pre-diagnosis all the way to transitioning into adulthood, one call to Autism Pensacola will connect families to a whole world of therapies, healthcare providers, diagnosticians, estate planners, adult services, education, financial advisors, and more.
