3 resources in Washington — Parent support
Advocates for Justice and Education is DC's federally designated Parent Training and Information Center, giving families free legal assistance and training on special education and school discipline. It runs Special Education Thursdays and other workshops, including sessions on autism and Applied Behavior Analysis in schools, and prioritises low-income families.
Ages All ages
The DC Autism Collaborative, hosted by Children's National, is a coalition of professionals, community leaders and parents working to widen early and equitable access to autism diagnosis, support and coordinated care in DC. It has compiled resources for professionals and for parents navigating evaluation and support, with some materials translated into Spanish and Amharic.
Ages All ages
Strong Start DC is the District's single point of entry for families with concerns about an infant or toddler's development, run by the Office of the State Superintendent of Education. Families found eligible receive early intervention services at no cost regardless of income or insurance, which can include therapy to help a child talk, move, walk, learn and interact with others.

Nothing here is a recommendation — we list what exists, note what a provider says about itself, and let parents tell you the rest. Intake contacts, school districts, and funding for the whole metro are on the Washington guide.
