Welcome...

SSASS is a non-profit support group for families of children with Asperger's Syndrome or High Functioning Autism (HFA) in the greater Saratoga Springs Region. The goal of SSASS is to provide a multitude of services including: emotional support and encouragement to families and persons with Asperger's syndrome and high functioning autism; educating families and serving as a center for compilation and distribution of information on Asperger's syndrome; assisting parents in navigating the special education system and special education law; and fostering cooperation between parents of children and local school districts.

SSASS has teamed with Community Human Services in Glenville, NY (518-399-4624) to improve integration of services including respite care, advocacy, educational workshops, and parent training. We are starting a lending library and would appreciate any donations.

We meet monthly; please check the "Monthly Meetings" section for further information.
