Have Dreams is a local organization with global impact, serving the autism community since 1996
Have Dreams is a leader in resources for individuals and their families living with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
We understand the complexities and uniqueness of each person with ASD and focus our programming and services on the core deficits: social skills, communication and independence.
Since its inception, Have Dreams has recognized the unmet needs of individuals living with ASD and responded by creating programs and services for children, teens and adults with autism spectrum disorder. Considered a partner for the entire lifespan, Have Dreams meets people where they are with innovative programming and compassionate care.
Have Dreams is proudly neurodivergent-affirming
You may be wondering: what does "neurodivergent-affirming" mean and is a program with this approach right for me or my autistic loved one?
At Have Dreams, we respect autistic culture and each individual's neurodivergent experience. We do NOT view autism as something that needs to be “treated” or changed. Our staff work with each individual to understand how autism impacts them, affirming their experience. In all of our programs and services, we use sensory tools, structure, hands-on activities, visual aids, role-play, and other supports to account for autistic processing, learning, and sensory needs.
