This website is intended for:
    *Educators
    *Parents
The intent for creating this site is to:  Increase the awareness of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) among rural community members in order to improve the early diagnosis of developmental disorders.  Enable educators and other school personnel to identify children with an ASD and plan their learning strategies and supports accordingly.  Inform parents and caregivers about ASDs so they can make informed decisions about their child's education and socialization needs. 

Parents Please Note This Information
If you plan to attend the Texas State Autism Conference in Houston in early October, Reg. XIII ESC has a short window of opportunity left for you to apply for the small stipend that they offer to help defray expenses for this conference.  Please refer interested parents tohttp://www5.esc13.net/autism/stipend_application.html for information.  Please visit http://autism.esc2.net/Conference/ for more details on the 20th Annual Texas State Conference!

Please take the time to view this video made by a student with an ASD
