Dana Tolick has been part of the Autism Society of Washington, Tri-Cities Chapter since 2004 when her and her husband of 11 years, William Tolick, moved from Puyallup. 
She was born and raised in the Lower Valley and graduated from Sunnyside High School. Her and her husband have 3 children, Nathan 6, Matthew 4 and Samantha 18 months. Both of their boys have Autism. After working since the age of 13 and having her 1st child at age 26, Dana decided to become a homemaker and do some volunteer work. After her son was diagnosed with Autism in 2002, it was here the journey began for their family. Dana has a passion for helping others, making new friends and providing information that has helped her so far.
"I cannot push people to learn nor have them accept my own convictions. With time and circumstances, it is ultimately up to the individual and family members to rationalize, learn and move forward. I am only here to help." Dana Tolick
