Upcoming Events
ASGA events and fundraisers bring the Greater Akron Autism community together for education, networking, and fun. Events range from educational workshops to adapted community events to our largest annual fundraiser, Step Into Autism.
Events and fundraisers offer everyone in the Autism community, a safe, welcoming, non-judgmental place to learn, participate, and support ASGA. All money raised stays local to provide services to anyone impacted by Autism in Medina, Portage, Stark, Summit, and Wayne counties.

Empowering Caregivers: Prioritize Yourself & Set Meaningful Goals in 2025
Autism affects not only the life of the individual with Autism but also those who support them. During this workshop, Barb Sapharas will present the Life Trajectory Worksheet, a powerful tool that helps caregivers explore what they want their lives to look like—and what they don’t—empowering them to take actionable steps toward their goals.
Registration is required to receive the virtual meeting link.
