This one day educational event brings together people with autism, families, professionals, caregivers and advocates for guidance, training, educational information and opportunities to connect through stories and experience.

Supporting the autism community where you live & work

Around the world and here at home, individuals with autism rely on the communities around them for support and understanding. The business community is a crucial part of this network of support.

At Autism Connections we are especially grateful to area businesses that choose to support people with autism by sponsoring the annual Autism Connections Conference. Autism Connections, a Pathlight program, is the only autism center in Western Massachusetts, connecting individuals to autism resources in all four counties.

Here’s what one parent had to say about a previous conference:

“It really doesn’t matter where your loved one with autism is on the spectrum because the journey is different for everyone. What I know for sure is I need support and community around every corner. This conference gives me both.”

Volunteer for Autism Connections!

Our goal is to improve the lives of children and adults with autism and help their families navigate resources and supports. Increasing awareness in our community about autism in very important to us, and that includes working with our neighbors who want to help, who become ambassadors for autism awareness in the process.

Would you like to stop in and help when you have a little extra time, or share a specialized skill with us? Volunteer activities include assisting at family, fundraising and programming events, help with office tasks, and occasional specialized projects.

If you are a parent, relative, friend, neighbor or professional, you are a valuable resource and even a little of your time can accomplish quite a lot for us. Not only can you can make a difference in the lives of children and adults with autism, you can connect to the greatest resource of all… families. Please join us in our effort to support children and teens, adults, their families, and the community as a whole.
