This new publication developed by the Indiana Resource Center for Autism at the Indiana Institute on Disability and Community is designed to provide Indiana families a place to start to navigate systems after their child receives an autism spectrum disorder diagnosis. This free booklet, “After the Diagnosis of an Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Resource for Families Whose Child is Newly Diagnosed,” includes information on what it means to have an autism spectrum disorder diagnosis, what services and supports are available, funding, and a state resource list.
Road Map to Services: When You Are Concerned Your Young Child May Have an Autism Disorder, provides information on the early signs of autism in the areas of communication, social skills, and restrictive or repetitive interests, steps for obtaining a diagnosis, and where to find additional services and supports. The brochure, designed in sunny colors and early childhood imagery, answers the question many families ask, “What if I’m told to wait to see if he/she outgrows it?” The resources in this brochure empower families to take the next step they believe will help their child now.
