 * AUTISM//ASPERGER'S ASSISTANCE**
 * Autism Society of Boulder County, Boulder, 720-272-8231, []

The mission of the Autism Society of Boulder County (ASBC) is to help individuals with autism spectrum disorders and their families develop a strong, united community by creating opportunities for people to connect, share experiences and build new relationships. We support continuing education among local service providers, schools and families, and are building programs for adolescent and adult populations to expand their opportunities.

The ASBC offers free services and support to an estimated 2,000 family members and autism professionals in our local community through education and awareness programs, bi-monthly e-newsletters, resource referrals and grants that go directly to families in need.

We secure services that promote the most cost-effective means to address the more significant issues that stand as barriers to participating in family and community activities. Enrollment in the service will end at three years duration. Before considering expenditure of allocation, enrolled consumers, with their families, will: identify needs that are related to ASD and exist because of ASD; seek assessment of a target need if not completed already; and develop a plan of service and support to fulfill that need.
 * Imagine Family Services ASD Program []

The families will then address the identified needs with their annual allocation of funds. They will: select from a qualified list of providers to fulfill the services of the plan; and together with the providers develop and fulfill a method of generalization that will continue to address this need through natural supports and environments.
