Parent Resources for Autism

Parent Resources for Autism

Parent Resources Recommended
by Apara Autism Center

Welcome to our parent resource page!

We hope the resources below will help you navigate through your child’s diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder. These resources have been put together to help you decide if you should seek the help of a physician for an Autism diagnosis, answer common FAQs, and provide research articles on Autism, ABA, and other commonly discussed topics. There are websites listed for your ease to connect with other families and communities in and around Texas, as well as nationally.

Last but not least, there are resources that include activities you can do with your child when not in therapy.

We hope you enjoy this page as much as we enjoyed gathering the information. If you have recommendations for other parent-friendly resources, please feel free to reach out to us at Info@AparaAutism.com.
