• Thanks to C.A.R. my son was able to make some new friends at the social fun groups put together by the wonderful people who work at Community Autism Resources. -T.I. parent of A 10 year old boy with autism
• The educational consultation received from CAR is priceless! Janet's input at school is crucial in helping our son more forward each year. She always seems to know what is right for him and thinks ahead to the future. The team respects and welcomes her input.Fun Friday Groups are a blast! Our son has met wonderful friends "just like him". Who would have guessed that other boys could talk endlessly about space and animals like him! Recording music together in a real live music studio was unforgettable for all!Joining the Hearts & Hands Walk each fall is very important to our family. CAR has provided us endless support over the years during good times and bad. We can't imagine having to travel the ASD road without our CAR friends. Supporting the Walk is the least we can do to help ensure other families receive the same vital help we do. - GFB, parent of 9 year old with autism/aspergers
• My daughter has a great chance of passing the MCAS and fully graduating from high school because of the consultation services to the school Janet has provided over the years. My daughter has make some great friends from the Ladies Night it was great to see the ladies engage in meaningful conversation. They were so comfortable with each other and it showed in there interaction. I participate in the Hearts and Hands Walk for autism to give back to an organization that has given us so much over the years. I don't know where we would be with out the help of CAR. - PD parent 18 year old with autism
• I am a parent who three years ago found out my son had Autism. I was truly overwhelmed with questions and I didn't know where to turn. I happened to attend a special needs informational fair at our local library and met Jan Randall and left her booth with an armful of invaluable information. Though her and the incredibly dedicated staff at CAR, I have attended: visual support clinics, IEP trainings, recieved informational packets on various subjects regarding autism, attended community outings such as family drumming and movie days, my daughter participated in a sibshop, my daughter and my son attended a one day vacation camp together, We have attended The Hearts and Hands Walk as well. It is always is a very positive fun family day. What better way to spend the day then with friends while raising funds for such a great organization? We support CAR because every time we have needed it, they have supported us. There is comfort in knowing that we will always have somewhere to turn for guidance as we navigate the puzzling maze of autism. - DL, mom to 7yr. old with Autism/MR/Ped. Bipolar Disorder
• Not only did I enjoy walking with all my friends and family , I also enjoyed working with the board and assisting with press releases, to help make the walk a success. The great thing about the walk , is you do not have to explain... if your child is having a melt down because he can not wait until it is his turn to jump on the moon walk. Also you feel power in numbers. Not only are we walking to raise money for services ...we are making a STATEMENT. Not ....to mention the services ...provided....god knows these kids are expensive....bio-medical...special diets and lets not forget law fees for special ed.... the services have been great...my son enjoyed dance it was also nice to meet new parents... - Lisa Watt, parent of Nicholas who is 8 years old and has Autism
