Autism Tree was established in 2003 by parents Todd and Dayna Hoff following their son's autism diagnosis. With a mission to “change the lives of thousands of children and families living with autism every year,” Autism Tree supports families through their four core values: embrace, connect, empower, and create. “We embrace every family with love and acceptance. We connect every family with a community of resources. We empower you to build a better world by investing in your vision. We create organic relationships, meaningful opportunities, and lasting friendships.”

The 501(c)(3) organization provides over 200 community-based family events annually under their diverse array of 20 programs, each created to engage the autism community in a variety of play-centered activities to build social confidence and communication skills. Along with building a loving and encouraging community, Autism Tree helps thousands of families create a roadmap for their children and navigate the very complex system of care required for some individuals with autism spectrum disorder.

Autism Tree's programs and events are designed to give neurodiverse people a voice and build community compassion toward the parents and families of these special individuals. They are all offered completely free of charge to any family affected by autism or developmental delays.
