Autism Association 2024 Annual Report

“Thank you for being amazing to our very special and unique son. The playgroup program has been incredibly beneficial for our son Hux as we navigate the journey into the world of Autism. It has provided a nurturing environment where he can learn and grow alongside peers who understand him. We’ve seen remarkable progress in his confidence and ability to interact with others since starting the program. It’s been an invaluable resource for our family. One of the most impactful strategies was observing how the staff interacted with Hux. Their gentle and patient approach served as a model for us in understanding effective communication techniques and fostering a supportive environment. We will always hold a deep gratitude for the incredible dedication and care shown by Themia, Kathryn, and Ashwina. Their commitment and kindness have left a lasting impression, and we will cherish the memories and lessons they have shared with us forever. Thank you for listening to us and our concerns. You helped calm us down and let us know it will be okay. Most of all, thank you for creating the right learning environment and experience for Hux. You changed our boy’s life this past year and you have made a difference!

We will forever be grateful!” - JACOB AND LUISA, HUX’S PARENTS LINKS PLAYGROUP
