Autism Providers in Phoenix, Arizona
11 providers listed at an address in Phoenix itself. For everyone who serves the wider area, see Maricopa County.

Activities, clubs & recreation
Clubs, sports, camps, and social programs that welcome autistic children and teens — inclusive, adaptive, and special-needs specific.
Phoenix
ARCH - Arizona Recreational Center for the Handicapped
An after-school program running 2pm to 6pm Monday to Friday, plus camps during school breaks and summer. After-school cover is one of the hardest things for a working parent to find, and a daily program is far more useful than a weekly club.
