"Access Services & Supports"

I CAN...

Hopefully, you have had a chance to visit the new Navigating Autism section of our website. Over the next few weeks, we are highlighting each section and introducing you to our toolkits. This section of our website provides you information to help you navigate through your autism journey. While written with parents/caregivers in mind, the information can be useful and beneficial to providers, other family members, and individuals.

This week we are highlighting "I Can...Access Services & Supports". Families raising children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) across the lifespan often find themselves in need of services and supports to meet the needs of their child with ASD and their family. Some of the content will introduce you to the concepts of natural vs paid supports, ways to expand those natural supports, a toolkit to help you identify current and needed resources, and help you explore how you make decisions about interventions.
