WWAACC is committed to providing education and support to families, caregivers, educators, and service providers of children with autism spectrum disorders. WWAACC volunteers are looking forward to coordinating, facilitating, or providing the following:

  • Curriculum-based education program for parents and caregivers
  • Workshops (WWAACCshops) on a variety of topics
  • Inservice training for educators, service providers, and community agencies
  • Public speaking engagements and presentations to raise awareness in the community
  • Support Groups for parents and caregivers in area communities

"WWAACC facilitated a training for Turningpoint staff members that provided us with information regarding autism, the needs of parents and children, and the services provided by WWAACC. My staff commented on how helpful and informative this training was. They also stated that the training helped them feel more confident in their abilities to effectively and thoroughly meet the needs of the children we serve."

- Vickie Goulette, Executive Director, Turningpoint
