After leucovorin got public attention as a potential autism treatment, families rushed to get it. Many doctors are torn about prescribing an unproven drug but don't want to lose patients' trust.

We want to give a huge THANK YOU to our 2026 Autism Expo - Free Community Resource Fair Info Session Sponsor, Arizona Autism United (AZA United)!

The mission of Arizona Autism United is to help as many families as possible with individualized supports. Our vision is to be a model of excellence for autism organizations by providing comprehensive services across the lifespan, with facilities throughout the state of Arizona.

Arizona Autism United was founded in 2006 by current CEO Dr. Aaron Blocher-Rubin and a group of local families who were experiencing firsthand a shortage of quality care. Their concept was to develop a nonprofit organization whose sole focus was providing high quality direct services and supports to children and families in our community, so that anyone in need could get help.

What has made AZA United unique from the beginning is the organization's focus on involving the families we serve in the process of building and improving the organization. Arizona Autism United has grown from a staff of 1 to serving over 1000 individuals with autism every day throughout the state with a wide variety of therapies and supports.

Our goal is to help anyone affected by autism access individualized supports without barriers, to achieve a high quality of life. In the long-term we hope to become a statewide organization serving the lifespan of people with autism, able to respond quickly and effectively to anyone in need. Our parents help us grow by identifying community needs and working with us to develop innovative and compassionate solutions. We believe that every family and person with autism has their own definition of success, and our job is to help them get there.

Updated Time 5:00pm!

We know that tracking bills, understanding when to engage with RST, or even knowing when to give testimony on bills can be a daunting task for community members. So, in order to make things easier for the disability community and their caregivers to engage in the legislative process DAPA is launching The Bill Room.

Starting this Friday, February 13th at 5:00 PM, we will host a weekly live discussion breaking down the current bills being discussed and moving forward during this legislative session and what they mean for the disability community.

During these sessions, we will cover:
• Key bills currently under consideration
• Recent legislative updates
• How these policies impact access, rights, and equity for people with disabilities

This space is designed to make policy clear, accessible, and relevant.
