in Toto Community Resource Center
A place where people are empowered to connect and thrive!
Our Mission
In Toto’s mission is to provide community centered social support to autistic and neurodiverse people to help them build confidence, make lasting connections, and achieve personal growth.
Our Vision
We aim to support learning and personal growth and fill existing gaps in services by creating a welcoming and inclusive space that provides social opportunities, support groups, advocacy and resources.
In Toto Community Resource Center, in downtown Zelienople, welcomes in-person and virtual participants from the greater Pittsburgh area and beyond. We offer a welcoming, inclusive, and non-clinical approach to community social services.
“In Toto” is Latin for “all together; as a whole” and expresses our goal to help bring individuals together for greater growth.
Founded in 2008 by Mary Limbacher as Parents in Toto Autism Resource Center, we offered parents of autistic individuals, and their children, support and connection through regular support groups and community events. In fifteen years, our programming diversified as it provided social and emotional support primarily for neurodiverse individuals of a wide range of ages, including young adults and independent living autistic adults. Toto expanded to include virtual programs in 2020, allowing us to reach individuals at home and sustained these to support those with limited access to transportation, from a wider range of locations, including rural areas. A rebrand in 2022 helped usher us into our fifteenth year of service. In order to ensure a non-ableist approach to the autistic community, our Inclusive Autism Program committed to identifying with the infinity symbol and neurodiverse affirming language.
All programs and services are open, non-clinical and are available to anyone, regardless of income level. Our programs are funded through grants and the generosity of corporate and private donors. As a nonprofit organization, Toto welcomes and relies on donor support to continue serving and empowering our families, friends, and neighbors. Unlike clinical settings, there is no paperwork or clinical process at Toto and no appointment is needed. No medical treatment is provided, though an abundance of growth is experienced as individuals and families are met where they are and celebrated AS they ARE.
We invite you to visit our center and experience the community, the connection, the camaraderie that is Toto.
