Founded by CEO Liz Martineau in 2002, NLG has been a dedicated service provider and advocate for people on the autism spectrum for over two decades. With a specialized day school and adult day program, NLG primarily serves people with Profound Autism, providing individualized, evidence-based support to meet their unique needs. Guided by a commitment to dignity, safety, and independence, NLG strives to enhance the quality of life for every student and member.

PAA, a not-for-profit founded by Judith and Amy Ursitti, is committed to the recognition of the unique challenges that people with profound autism and intellectual disability experience. PAA’s mission is to improve their health and connection through inclusive research and focused advocacy that will result in meaningful services and supports.

Profound Village is a learning community devoted exclusively to Profound Autism. The Summit, held just once a year, brings together families, caregivers, and professionals to learn and connect, but we know not everyone can attend in person. That’s why we created Profound Village, an online learning community that provides year-round access to experts across various fields and fosters meaningful connections among parents, caregivers, and professionals.
