How can Walla Walla Businesses and Idividuals Help?

  • Become educated.  Ask Questions, learn all you can about ASD’s.  Knowledge is power.
  • Raise awareness.  Share your knowledge with those around you.
  • Offer Help.
  • Support your local autism association.  By fund raising, offering donations.  Often many of the items that could make a life better for families are quite expensive.
  • Be Tolerant.

They encourage all of us to be tolerant, as each child is an individual, regardless of what disorder they are affected by.
