*After consulting with local officials and our Board of Directors, and in an abundance of caution, All 4 Autism has made the decision to postpone any face-to-face support group events or consults to help protect our families, staff, and volunteers during this pandemic. In the current environment, it’s important for all of us to act more consciously, in an effort to decrease the transmission and lower the impact of COVID-19. However, we want to continue to be an active part of our ASD Community! We will still be available by phone or email during our regular hours, and conducting family support consultations by phone. Our Community Advisory Committee is working diligently to schedule virtual trainings and events, until it is safe to resume our regular group activities. Please know that we are still here and advocating for you and your family! YOU ARE NOT ALONE!
