Published about 19 hours ago • 1 min read

DearReader,

We are so excited to share some big news with you this morning! Over the years, our work at RTAAF has grown and so has our community. What started as a mission to raise awareness has blossomed into something deeper: empowering autistic individuals, supporting families, and strengthening our community together.
​
With that growth, we felt it was time for our name to reflect who we are today. We’re excited to share that RT Autism Awareness Foundation (RTAAF) is now the Rochester Area Autism Association (RAAA)!​
​
As our community has become more aware and understanding of autism, we wanted our name to make it easier for families and individuals to find us and to feel welcomed and supported from the start.

Thank you for being part of our journey and for helping us build a more connected, inclusive Rochester area.

Stay tuned as our new website: https://www.rochesterautism.org is under construction, but you will start noticing changes on social media and in other areas as we head in this new direction!

With appreciation,

Elizabeth
Executive Director Rochester Area Autism Association

RT Autism Awareness Foundation

RTAAF is a 501[c][3] Non-Profit Organization That supports persons impacted by Autism.
