Newly Diagnosed or Need Family Services?

At Autism Speaks, our goal is to change the future for all who struggle with autism spectrum disorders. Please contact Family Services to take advantage of our resources including the 100 Day Kit, our Resource Guide and our free help line, the Autism Response Team. As always, you are urged to use independent judgment and request references when considering any resource associated with the provision of services related to autism.

Autism Response Team (ART)Navigating resources can be confusing and time-consuming for families. Each month the ART helps hundreds of families find what they are looking for.
