BENEFITS

Autism From The Start takes a comprehensive look at “the whole child” while also attending to the “whole family.” By creating enjoyable, useful experiences, both parents and children are empowered with skills to grow in meaningful ways.

	convenience The Autism From The Start team will meet you in the comfort and privacy of your home or community. This approach puts your family’s needs first. Your child is most comfortable at home, and he or she will be able to learn with things familiar to him–a favorite toy, a sibling, mealtime, or playing with other children in the neighborhood.
	connections AFTS provides families with a fully-assembled and complete team of ASD expertise from the very beginning, so you aren’t left scrambling to find your own resources.  In addition, we have cultivated trusted connections to area specialists, schools, and organizations in order to provide you with a ready-made network that extends into your community.
	accessibility Autism From The Start is committed to meeting with new families within days–not months, which is typical today. You will be cared for with warm, personalized attention, and receive services in a timely manner that works with your schedule.
