Caregiver Resources & Support
While autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a lifelong developmental disability, early identification and support can make a meaningful difference in a child’s development, communication, and daily functioning. Having access to clear, trustworthy information and supportive resources helps parents better understand their child’s needs and take informed steps toward early evaluation and intervention. When families are equipped with guidance, practical tools, and a strong sense of community, they are more empowered to make decisions, reduce stress, and promote the best possible outcomes for their child.
To further support families on this journey, Atlanta Autism Center is hosting monthly Caregiver Empowerment Workshops — a welcoming space for connection, learning, and community. Each month, we explore a different topic designed to help caregivers build confidence, access resources, and navigate their child’s developmental journey with support. These workshops offer valuable strategies, guidance, and opportunities to connect with other families who share similar experiences.
Below are helpful resources and caregiver opportunities created to support families in understanding ASD, accessing services, and feeling confident every step of the way.
