Complimentary Parent Support

Sometimes support needs to be free.

I know that not every family has the ability to pay for support when they need it. That’s why Equipped for the Autism Journey provides four complimentary 30-minute parent-support sessions each year — one each quarter — for families who could benefit from guidance but may not be able to afford a consultation at that time.

Because every parent deserves to feel equipped.
