In 2016, we are creating opportunities for training, activities, self advocacy and support. In addition, we plan to add to our current services, looking specifically at: Employment, Adult Services, expansion of our Swim and Safety Program, education through our Just Like You Autism Film, Sibling Supports, as well as continuing to collaborate with area service providers.
