Some of the best ideas become traditions because a community embraces them. That’s exactly what happened with the Autism Safety Expo.
When Autism Connection of PA hosted our inaugural Expo last year, we hoped it would bring together families, autistic people, first responders, educators, healthcare professionals, and community organizations to share resources and strengthen autism safety. The response was overwhelming. New partnerships were formed, families discovered services they didn’t know existed, and countless meaningful conversations reminded us how much we can accomplish when we come together.
Because of that incredible success, we’re excited to announce that the Autism Safety Expo is now an annual event.
Please join us on Friday, October 30, 2026, from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at Monroeville Fire Company #4, 4370 Northern Pike, for a full day of education, practical resources, interactive exhibits, and opportunities to connect with organizations dedicated to supporting autistic people of all ages and their families.
At Autism Connection of PA, we believe safety is about more than emergency preparedness. It’s about creating communities where autistic people are understood, supported, and included. Whether you’re a family member, self-advocate, first responder, educator, healthcare professional, or community partner, you’ll find valuable information, new connections, and practical tools that can make a difference.
We invite you to save the date, share the event with others, and watch for more details in the coming weeks. We look forward to welcoming you this October as we continue building safer, more informed, and more inclusive communities across Pennsylvania, together.
