By facilitating communication between parents and the communities they live and work in, the AAY program seeks to increase the tools of parents and caregivers to deal with and treat their autistic child. A special effort has been made to reach out to communities who are just beginning to tackle the difficult challenges of Autism by providing a link to all the information, resources and program and technical support available in a language they can understand.
