South Carolina Autism Society

The South Carolina Autism Society (SCAS) is a dedicated non-profit organization committed to supporting individuals with autism and their families throughout the state. With a mission to create meaningful connections, SCAS empowers the autism community by providing essential resources, case management, educational mentoring, and advocacy at both state and federal levels. The organization serves a diverse range of individuals, including those with various diagnoses such as language-based learning disabilities and twice-exceptional learners. SCAS employs a holistic approach to support, offering outreach programs, training for professionals, and information referrals tailored to meet the unique needs of each family. What sets SCAS apart is its strong emphasis on family partnerships and community involvement, exemplified through events like the annual Strides for Autism Walk and 5K Run, which foster engagement and awareness. By prioritizing low student-to-teacher ratios in its initiatives and actively seeking feedback from the community through surveys, SCAS continuously adapts its services to ensure they are relevant and impactful. Through these efforts, SCAS envisions a world where every individual within the autism community is connected to the support they need to thrive.
