Nassau Suffolk Services for Autism

Nassau Suffolk Services for Autism provides hope to people with autism and their families by providing high quality life-long support through services which enable people with autism to function better in everyday life. NSSA offers the most advanced treatment and training programs for the benefit of people with autism, and will continue to pioneer, through research, comprehensive treatment models which can be adopted nationally. NSSA currently offers an educational program, consultation services with multiple school districts across Long Island, in-home respite services, a Saturday recreational program, an adult services program, as well as outreach and parent training services. Our support is derived from the New York State Education Department, the Office of Persons With Developmental Disabilities (OPWDD), and private fundraising.
