GRASP’s Mission
Our Mission at GRASP, the Global & Regional Autism Spectrum Partnership, is to improve and enrich the quality of life of Autistics, individuals with related Neurodivergence, and their families through Community Advocacy & Outreach, Peer Supports, Programs and Education, and Information & Referral Services.
GRASP’s Vision
Our Vision at GRASP is to work toward a just and equitable society where all Autistic and Disabled individuals are Self-Determined, Respected, Valued, and Fairly Represented, where appropriate supports and services are readily available to those in need, where Autistics are empowered to participate in personal and community decisions that affect their lives in order to achieve their goals and dreams.
