The National Autism Association of North Texas is a dedicated non-profit organization and local chapter of the nationally respected NAA. Since our founding in 2008, we have focused on a mission of advocacy and support for families, professionals, and individuals within the autism community. ‍

We use all our funds locally to provide support, resources, and education.

  • At NAA-NT, we believe in the power of local grassroots support. We are a 100% volunteer-run organization, which means your contributions go directly toward serving families in Collin, Dallas, Denton, Rockwall, and Tarrant counties. When you support us, you are funding grants, local scholarships, and navigation for resources

  • We believe that no family should navigate their journey in isolation. Our connection initiatives are designed to foster a sense of belonging while creating a more inclusive environment across our local community.

    • Monthly Advocacy Group for teens and young adults

    • Community Events for caregivers, teachers, and therapists

    • Celebrating families through social media campaigns

  • Our mission is guided by the belief that every individual on the spectrum deserves the opportunity to live a fulfilling, inclusive life.

    • Advocacy: We represent the interests of our community at the local and state levels to ensure better access to services.

    • Inclusion: We strive to move beyond "awareness" toward true acceptance, celebrating the unique strengths and perspectives of neurodivergent individuals.

    • Sustainability: We are committed to growing our North Texas network so that no family has to navigate their journey alone.
