• Increased programming across New England such as conferences in Vermont and Cape Cod.
• Seminars for parents on topics such as school advocacy, social skills, homework, and managing daily family life.
• Transition services to help parents and young adults plan for life after high school, including a Perspectives on College Life” panel presentation.
• Continuation of the Life Management Assistance Program (LifeMAP), a one-to-one coaching program for adults.
• A new online support group for parents of adults, as well as continuing our online support groups for parents of children and teens, currently serving over 1,500 families.
• Comprehensive programming for spouses, including support groups, workshops and an online group.
• Support to underserved communities in Boston, Lawrence and Springfield.
• Increased legislative advocacy including support for a Massachusetts bill to prevent bullying and teasing.
• Expanded education and awareness, including training for schools, police and judges.

Great minds agree…
We couldn’t have done it without you!

Please help us to continue providing these vital programs and services to our members. We are able to provide thousands of individuals and families across New England with free and low-cost services because of your contribution. Your donation of any size to AANE means that we are able to expand our services to fit the growing needs of the AS community. We are grateful for your continued support as we strive in our shared mission of fostering awareness, respect, acceptance and support for those facing the challenges of living with Asperger Syndrome.
