The Algoma Autism Foundation was founded in 2013 by a dedicated group who found a lack of support for people with autism in Sault Ste Marie and wanted to bring assistance and education to the citizens of this great community. We endeavor to foster acceptance in our community for all those with Autism Spectrum Disorder.
At the Algoma Autism Foundation, our mission is to create a more inclusive and accessible community for individuals on the autism spectrum and those with special needs in Sault Ste. Marie and the Algoma District. Born from a deep personal commitment, we strive to empower these individuals by providing tailored opportunities, educational resources, and support systems that foster positive development and embrace diversity. Through our dedicated volunteer efforts and local partnerships, we champion acceptance, advocacy, and sensory-friendly initiatives, ensuring that every individual is celebrated for their unique strengths and potential. Together, we are building a future where inclusion is not just an aspiration but a lived reality.

The foundation's growth, powered by local partnerships and the generosity of volunteers, continues to enrich lives, making every small victory a shared celebration.
