Eden Autism Services Florida was founded in 1996 to address Southwest Florida''s growing need for specialized services for children and adults with autism. From its start, Eden has utilized techniques in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) for all ages. Eden offers two private schools for students diagnosed with autism from pre-K to grade 12 (ages 5 to 22) in Naples and Fort Myers.  Our schools are staffed by experienced professionals in behavior analysis and other specialists to help children with autism.  Eden also provides a group homes for adults with autism, as well as an adult day training center in Naples.   Eden’s staff is dedicated to providing an environment that Community groups, businesses and individual volunteers continue to participate in enriching Eden’s programs and special events.  With the help of the community, Eden provides a valuable and sustainable service for those affected with the complex, lifelong developmental disability of autism.  

Eden Florida accepts volunteers for a variety of activities, including special events, administrative activities, and more.  We always need volunteers for the Naples Invitational ArtFest, held the last weekend in January each year.  Students who are willing to make a longer commitment (6 months) may also become trained to work with students at our schools.

Depending on the event/activity itself, volunteers will be provided with items like a t-shirt, water, and education on autism.
