Community Resources
​Welcome to our resource hub for parents! We understand that finding the right resources for your child can be overwhelming, that's why we've compiled a list of helpful information to help you overcome this challenge. We'll continue to update this with new resources, so be sure to check back frequently. Early intervention is key to helping our children, so please take the time to review the information below. If you any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us.

Evidence-Based Practices
It is crucial that we utilize evidence-based practices to help our students/children. Evidence-based practices are scientifically based and have been proven to be effective through research. There are many practices out there that have not been proven to be effective and not based on sound research. As I have stated before, these are crucial years to your child's development. To find out more about EBPs, please visit: Council for Exceptional Children and Autism Speaks​
