The Access for Autistic Youth Program serves as a conduit for services, information, and technical support for all Autistic Children and their families and caregivers regardless of their socio-economic status, race, or cultural background. This web site serves as the critical first step to different communities who have yet to fully understand or include Autism within their common language. 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. It is part of a concerted effort to improve access for all disabled children regardless of their language or economic background.
