Autism Resources in Minneapolis, Minnesota

Minneapolis anchors the Twin Cities metro and holds one of the deepest concentrations of autism services in the Upper Midwest. Families here can draw on the University of Minnesota / M Health Fairview (now anchored at the Masonic Institute for the Developing Brain), Fraser — Minnesota's oldest and largest autism provider — and Children's Minnesota, alongside a broad set of ABA, speech, and occupational therapy providers. This guide walks through what's available: diagnosis, therapy, schools, community and sensory-friendly activities, and how Minnesota's EIDBI benefit and other funding work.
