Subscribe to our email newsletter, an informative mix of relevant news articles, strategies, research, and resources to improve the educational experiences and outcomes of diploma-bound students on the autism spectrum.
"... the most important considerations in devising educational programs for children with autistic spectrum disorders have to do with recognition of the autism spectrum as a whole, with the concomitant implications for social, communicative, and behavioral development and learning, and with the understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of the individual child across areas of development." —Educating Children with Autism, 2001
As a nonprofit organization, we depend solely on the support of our members as we work to fulfill our mission to improve the educational experiences and outcomes of students on the autism spectrum by increasing awareness about how autism can affect children in educational settings, advocate for improved educational programming and services, and provide support and information to our parent community.
