We walk beside individuals with autism and developmental disabilities — and the families who love them.
Micah's Walk for Autism is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit committed to individuals with autism spectrum disorder and intellectual, developmental, and cognitive disabilities — and to their families, caregivers, educators, and healthcare providers.
Since 2017, we've worked to raise understanding of autism and developmental disabilities through advocacy, community engagement, education, and direct support — helping individuals move toward greater independence and a fuller life.
Named for Micah, a young autistic artist whose creativity inspires everything we do, our work is personal. We believe that when a child can't learn the way we teach, we teach the way they learn.

A community safety program that helps first responders, officers, and the public recognize and respond appropriately to individuals with autism and developmental disabilities — during traffic stops, emergencies, and everyday encounters.
Awareness materials are provided through Micah's Walk for Autism. Professional officer and staff training is delivered by our partner, Next Step Behavioral & Family Support Solutions.
Micah's original creature drawings became a coloring book families can enjoy together — color it your way. Every copy celebrates the creativity of an autistic artist and helps support our mission.
