What this is, in plain language
Monthly parent support groups — including groups for females on the spectrum and for autistic adults — plus help with the autism diagnosis process, parent mentoring, and IEP consultation by appointment. Also offers summer camp scholarships and an annual conference with autism speakers.
Getting started
IEP consultation is by appointment only — email or call the office to arrange it, and check the online calendar for support group meeting dates.
