Located at St. Therese School in Munhall, S.P.E.A.K. is a dynamic, community-based program for children with autism.

Our friends at The Lindsay Theater are hosting a sensory friendly screening of the The Super Mario Galaxy Movie!

The Lindsay Theater's sensory friendly screenings provide an option for families, children, and adults impacted by autism and other special needs to watch films together in a low-stress environment. They lower the film's volume, keep on dim house lights, and have a door open to restrooms and the lobby throughout the film. Trailers are eliminated to reduce the necessary "sit time." Staffing levels are also increased to allow a personal, unhurried cinematic experience for everyone.

Help change a child's life with one simple snack!🍿💙

We are so excited to announce our "Popcorn for Paws" fundraiser to support an incredible cause right here in Pittsburgh!

A service dog would be truly life-changing for Dennis and his entire family. For Dennis, it means getting the comfort he needs to overcome sleep challenges, as well as a non-judgmental friend to help him regulate big emotions and navigate tricky social situations. For Dennis's family it means a well-rested household that can better support him everyday!

We've set a goal of $4500, and we are thrilled to partner with Double Good. When you purchase delicious popcorn from April 9th - 12th, a full 50% of your purchase goes directly towards Dennis's service dog training!

If you’re used to Extended School Year (ESY) programs that feel like a "repeat" of the classroom, get ready for something entirely different. At Autism Pittsburgh, we’ve reimagined what summer support looks like.

While most local programs focus on maintaining academic maintenance in a school building, we’ve moved the goalposts. Our ESY program is built on community-integrated learning and real-world social engagement. We aren't just checking boxes; we're building confidence where it matters most—out in the world.

Applications are due May 31st.
