Autism societies in Wisconsin have some exciting updates!
Instead of affiliate Autism Societies throughout the state, varying by region, there are now two larger regional autism societies -- Autism United of Wisconsin: Supports Milwaukee and their surrounding counties (Waukesha, Racine, Kenosha, Ozaukee, and Washington) Autism Society of Wisconsin: Supports the remainder of the state (see post below for specific chapters that merged) Many of the regional chapters still maintain their Facebook presence, featuring local events. If you are an Autism parent or have a child with any cognitive disability, please subscribe! They provide amazing resources, connect like-minded families to feel supported, and hold many sensory/disability friendly events throughout the year!!

CCOP may be able to pay for ongoing support or a one time need (note, if the support can be covered by another funding source, it cannot be accessed using CCOP funds). CCOP funds must be used to purchase goods or services that meet or assist a need or outcome on the child’s Individual Service Plan. Common examples of covered goods and services include:
