What is Autism Aware?

There is a very common and true saying that if you have met one person with Autism, then you have met one person. This can make it very difficult for people to understand why they meet two people with Autism and they both seem so different.

New England ABA has created a training that provides small businesses with information on what Autism actually is and is not, along with some basic strategies to make people with Autism and their families feel more welcomed. The training provides concrete examples in a concise and easy to understand format.

Why Autism Aware?

The numbers almost seem to be too high to be true. According to the CDC, 1 in 68 children is diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder in the US. Through our home-based therapy program, we have learned that many families with loved ones with Autism experience a feeling of isolation from their community.

This prompted us to create a free, easy to use and on-demand training option for small businesses to become more Autism Aware. Our hope is that as more and more businesses become Autism-Friendly, individuals with Autism and their families will feel more comfortable and welcomed in their community.

How it Works
