South Puget Sound

With the disbanding of our Thurston Mason County ASW Affiliate in mid 2011, we have considered how to have a presence in this area. ASW would like to reach out to Thurston, Mason and Lewis County for volunteers to organize in this area.

ASW has been working closely with the South Sound Autism Partnership since late 2010, particpating in an initial needs assessment survey and are now working with this group to present a conference in March (see information below) to address needs in various age groups: early childhood, school age, young teens, and older teens/young adults. For more information, contact ASW Board Member Valerie Brenner at (253) 568-1516.
