Mickey & Minnie Made our Families Happy
We would like to thank Change Your Stars Foundation for giving us 90 tickets to Disney On Ice. Several autism families were able to enjoy this show at no cost.
For Arizona Autism United it is important that families have the opportunity to attend events in the community. It was a magical night with Mikey & Minnie, Aladdin, Tinkerbell, Cinderella, Anna, Elsa and many more characters.
Families shared:
"We would never just go and do something like this with my son, but because of you all we were able to go out and have a fun family night! Thank you!!"
"Our family was so excited to attend! They've never been to one of these events. Anytime we can try new experiences we are thrilled. We are so grateful for this opportunity. Thank you again!"
For opportunities like this, continue to read our monthly newsletters and follow us on Facebook!

During these sessions, triumphs and concerns are discussed providing attendees the tools to handle challenging situations that are usually experienced by siblings.

NEW BLOG: Navigating the Systems of Care
When you suspect your child may have a developmental delay, it can be difficult to know where to begin. This is where AZA United's Outreach Team can help. As parents of children with autism, the Outreach Team empathetically understands your journey. We can assist you in finding a diagnostician and navigating the systems of care. When seeking services, it is important to take your funding source into consideration.
Applying for government-funded services is another important step for families to ensure your child is eligible for the many services provided through Arizona's Medicaid program for individuals with disabilities. The Outreach Team at AZA United talks to families every day to help them understand the details of the application and approval process. Visit the How to Access Funding for Services page on our website for important phone numbers and websites.
