The Panhandle Autism Society (PAS) is a chapter of the Autism Society of America.

We are headquartered in Coeur d’ Alene, ID and serve the five northern counties of Idaho. We are governed by a Board of Directors and our funding comes from donations, fundraising events and foundation grants.

Providing information and referral. Most of our calls come from families that have just received an Autism diagnosis for their child and they are seeking to understand what is available and how they can go about accessing services. We also however, provide information to community members through workshops and participating in other events.
Providing support to families. We offer support groups as well as quarterly family activities such as Family Day Out or Parent Night Out. Our calendar lists all of our current activities.
Providing training opportunities for families and professionals. There are so many different options for therapy and treatment that it can be difficult to keep up on all of the latest information. We provide quarterly training opportunities that allow families and professionals to continue to learn about Autism Spectrum Disorders and how some therapies and interventions may help support the individuals they care for. Our trainings fulfill a portion of the annual professional development requirements for professionals in Idaho.
