April was Autism Awareness Month
Visit our Resource Center for Autism and Developmental Delays (RCADD). An extensive lending library of over 700 resources including books, software, games, home teaching kits and visual supports is available to parents, caregivers, teachers, and others seeking resources for young children with autism spectrum disorders or other developmental delays. The RCADD professional staff provides consultation and guidance to discover children’s strengths and help construct a support team to encourage their growth and development.
