THROUGH EDUCATION AND ADVOCACY, AS WELL AS THROUGH EMOTIONAL AND FINANCIAL SUPPORT. WE ARE A CENTRAL RESOURCE FOR SPECIAL NEEDS FAMILIES
OFTEN WHEN A CHILD IS DIAGNOSED WITH ASD, THE PARENTS DON’T KNOW WHERE TO GO FIRST OR WHAT TO DO IN ORDER TO BETTER THE LIFE OF THEIR CHILD. EARLY INTERVENTION IS THE KEY TO THE LONG TERM SUCCESS OF ASD CHILDREN.
SOME OF OUR MAIN OBJECTIVES ARE:
- PROVIDING MATERIALS TO GUIDE FAMILIES IN FINDING RESOURCES, PROGRAMS AND THERAPIES FOR THEIR CHILDREN
- AIDING FAMILIES IN NAVIGATING THE OPWDD PROCESS
- HOLDING SUPPORT GROUP MEETINGS FOR PARENTS, SIBLINGS AND ASD CHILDREN
- HOSTING A VARIETY OF EVENTS TO BOOST THE SOCIALIZATION AND EMOTIONAL WELL BEING OF ASD CHILDREN
- PROVIDING FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR NECESSARY SERVICES AND THERAPIES THAT MAY NOT BE COVERED BY INSURANCE
- EDUCATING THE GREATER POPULATION ABOUT AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER
