Our Parent Support Specialist Help With Next Steps
An autism diagnosis is the first step in the autism journey for parents. Research shows that high-quality therapy can have a big impact on autism outcomes. To ensure that parents get the best help as quickly as possible, our support staff discusses therapy options and recommended service providers.

Need help understanding autism basics? Need a reference for therapy and after-school programs? Ready to start planning for adulthood? Our trained specialists will guide parents as they seek answers to these questions and more.
