JeffACE CARES Support Group
We are proud to offer the new support group for families of autistic individuals called JeffACE CARES. Our objective is to connect with the autism community, and for them to connect with each other and to provide needed information and resources. Participants will have the opportunity to interact with other families of autistic persons, learn about autism from evidence-based sources, receive information about evaluation and treatment services and special events. The group will be offered online in English and Spanish to increase participation from diverse autistic communities. Please complete this survey to be connected to the support group (available in English and Spanish):
