Tommy's Place

Our Mission:
Autism Support Group of St. Croix Valley is a non-profit 501(c)(3) committed to serving and advocating for families living and loving on the autism spectrum, in addition to any families needing support with loved ones with a disability. We provide family support groups, resources, and advocacy at both the local and state level.

Our Vision:
Autism Support Group of St. Croix Valley exists to bring awareness, understanding, and practical resources to the families and loved ones with disabilities in the St. Croix Valley area of Wisconsin by connecting to the community. We want to live in a world where everyone has the best quality of life, regardless of ability, and will do so by bringing together local, county and state agencies, schools, churches, employers, services providers, and government. 

Our Founder:
Autism Support Group of St. Croix Valley was founded by Peg Scott. Peg is a wife, mother of three, and grandmother of six—two of whom are on the autism spectrum. After watching her own family experience the difficulties of finding the right therapies, insurance, doctors, and other resources, she became a self advocate.With an educational and professional background in finance and corporate operations, Peg called upon her business skills to identify pain points for her family and others. In the process, she found her life's passion and mission, to be a resource to families and individuals living and loving on the spectrum, as well as to those who face other disabilities. Peg aims to help these families and individuals navigate the system and move beyond the grief to an abundant life.

We are currently working on Tommy's Place, a technology and sensory lending center. There is a plethora of technological and sensory products and resources on the market for children with autism and other disabilities, but knowing what will (or will not) work for a specific child is impossible. In addition these products can be very expensive and often times are not covered by insurance. 

Tommy's Place is a center where families will be able to test drive products before they commit to a full purchase. Items such as speech-to-text software, iPads, talking calculators, smart pens, wearables, weighted blankets, pressure vests, toys, and many more items. 

Your donation will help us build this much needed center here in the St. Croix Valley.
