We promote and fund research into the causes of autism and support increased public awareness through educational and recreational community activities. The SDASA also serves as a voice and resource for the local autism community.The Coachella Valley Autism Society of America (CVASA) was formed in 1998 by a group of dedicated parents to provide support and information for families of persons with autism in the Coachella Valley. Our membership has grown from those few to almost 200 families throughout the desert. CVASA not only serves these families directly, we also ensure that our services are available to anyone regardless of membership or affiliation with CVASA.
