Autism Connections provides support, resources, and practical help for children and adults with autism, as well as their families, friends and professionals. As children grow and make transitions to preschool, kindergarten, high school and adulthood, Autism Connections walks alongside and continues to provide information and support through these life changes.
When a family first contacts Autism Connections, someone who understands autism and the family’s needs welcomes them.
Shortly after the initial contact, families receive basic information about autism, Autism Connections’ services, and how they can begin to advocate for their child and obtain needed supports.
For information regarding eligibility, services, and the intake process, contact Autism Connections at 413-588-1043 or email autismconnections@pathlightgroup.org.
Family Trainings
We believe information is power! The more informed you are, the better you are able to support your unique family situation.
We offer workshops and webinars on topics across the lifespan of people with disabilities (such as understanding educational rights, IEPs, SSI, MassHealth, Autism Law, planning for the future with trusts and ABLE accounts, protections like guardianship and other options, and transition) and we value your input on what topics you would like to see offered.
