At Community Autism Resources, our number one priority is connecting with families of individuals on the autism spectrum, and the professionals who support them.
There are no membership fees for this "connection," and all of our day-to-day services are free to those within our service region. We welcome you to contact us via telephone or email to have someone from our office contact you about the services we offer.
MONDAY MORNING MESSAGE
The Monday Morning Message is a weekly news update sent directly to your inbox on Monday mornings.
There is so much information available to us that sometimes it's hard to sift through and catch it all in a timely manner. We've done the hard work for you with the Monday Morning Message. Each week you will find information on:
- activities hosted by Community Autism Resources
- other activities within our Southeastern MA community
- legislative alerts and happenings
- national and local conferences and classes relating to autism
- articles
- anything else we think might be worth your time.
If you have any questions or are interested in receiving our Monday Morning Message (MMM), please contact Jan Randall at janrandall@community-autism-resources.com
