Testimonials

My son had been diagnosed with Autism for over two years when my son's Speech Therapist, my wife and myself started up our Support Group. We still could not discuss his diagnosis with anyone, even our families.
I'll never forget what it felt like to drive home that first night after our first Autism Support Group meeting. It felt so good to sit in a room full of people, that knew what our family had been going through, and share things.
I've learned so much from the parents in our group, even the new ones. And it's given us such a sense of accomplishment knowing that we have been able to help others too. --R.B.,Hazard, KY
