Welcome to our Autism Support Group Site!

The purpose of this site is to provide a central location of autism information for parents, caregivers, educators, and all people touched by autism. This site contains:

Autism resources available in or near the Cedar Valley.
Autism information.
A starting point for families beginning their journey with autism.

Update - We will not be having formal meetings during this academic year due to low attendance and lack of interest. During summer 2010, we will reevaluate the decision.

This website will continue to be updated! Thank you!

Reel movies for Real needs at College Square Mall

We recently learned that College Square Mall plays a movie once a month on Saturday Morning for Sensitive kids. It is Reel movies for Real needs. The next movie is May 22 at 10:30 they will be playing Shrek the Final Chapter. They leave the lights up and turn the volumn down.
