"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
