My World ABA provides ABA therapy for children ages 18 months to 21 years old and gives families the support they need to help their children thrive. Our staff and clinicians are trained to offer kindness and compassion to everyone who walks through our doors. However, a much more extensive support network exists than just our therapists and technicians.
Discover more details about several autism organizations you can talk to for more information about neurodiversity in all its beautiful forms.
Autism Speaks
One of the top organizations with a ton of information, support, and articles, Autism Speaks was founded in 2005. Autism Speaks seeks to support and expand services in low-resource communities, facilitate research, and drive inclusion for the autism community.
The organization can point parents and caregivers in the direction of how to get health insurance for caring for a person with autism and the signs and symptoms of autism, as well as help with caregiver skills training. Autism Speaks also gives grants to communities to make them friendlier for people diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder.
National Autism Association
The National Autism Association (NAA) has a six-fold mission statement based on advocacy, research, education, awareness, tools for families and schools, and hope and support. The overall goal is to respond to the most urgent needs of the autism community.
Regarding varied information on the website, the National Autism Association is second to none. Webinars, toolkits, booklets, articles, and teacher resources abound.
Autism Society
For nearly 60 years, the Autism Society has been working to empower everyone in the autism community so they can live fully. Founded on principles of equity and inclusion, the Autism Society supports evidence-based intervention practices and therapies to improve the quality of life of those with autism. This organization also sponsors Autism Acceptance Month every April to raise awareness.
Autistic Self Advocacy Network
The Autistic Self Advocacy Network seeks to empower people with autism all over the world while advancing equal rights, access, and opportunities for people on the spectrum. Rather than a support group, ASAN is more of a legal, legislative, and advocacy group that has a more specific aim.
