AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDERS Provided by the Autism Society of the Fox Valley, Inc. Outagamie/Winnebago/Calumet/Waupaca/Fond du Lac 1800 Appleton Road Menasha, WI 54952 920 968-6829 [email protected] www.focol.org/asfv/ 0 Resource and Referral Guide Our Mission The Autism Society of the Fox Valley, Inc. was established in 1989. We are a 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization serving the counties of Calumet, Outagamie, Waupaca, Winnebago, and Fond du Lac. Our mission is to provide information and referral, advocacy, public awareness, education, and support for individuals, families, professionals and others who support those with autism. Our board is comprised of volunteers; we are parents of children on the autism spectrum or we are autism educators. We are very thankful to Alcoa for their generous grant to put together our first resource guide. This guide is the fourth revised update. We have tried to be comprehensive in our undertaking and hope that the community finds this guide to be helpful in dealing with those on the autism spectrum. The names listed in the guide have been printed with permission. There are undoubtedly services and providers that we’ve missed. If you are a provider or know of any services that should be included in this directory, please fill out the Information Form on the last page of the guide. Additionally, if information has changed, also please contact us. Inclusion of names in this directory does not indicate endorsement of any provider by the Autism Society of the Fox Valley (ASFV). Families have different levels of satisfaction with each provider. Members of ASFV may have had contact with some of the service providers in the guide and those individuals have an asterisk (*) by their names. However, the choice of provider is an individual decision for each family. ASFV does not endorse the treatment and therapies included within the guide nor can it take any responsibility for any results. Very Special Thanks to: Alcoa Charitable Foundation which initially funded this project. A special thanks to the Autism Society of Fox Valley board members who helped with the Resource Guide, especially Dr. Archna Hendricks, who is head of the Resource Guide Committee. 1 TABLE OF CONTENTS PAGE 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. 31. 32.
