COVID-19 Assistance

COVID-19 has had unprecedented effects on our local communities and daily lives.  The Autism Society of Greater New Orleans is committed to helping the autism community through this crisis. As assistance to help families impacted by the closures, cancellations, and other disruptions stemming from COVID-19 become available we will add information about it here.  This list is not exhaustive, and if you have any questions about the availability of any program, please contact those organizations directly.  If you know of anything that should be added to this list, please email us at info@asgno.org.  This is a rapidly evolving situation, and we will endeavor to keep this page as up-to-date as possible.
