Programs & Services

At Autism with DJ, we recognize the difficulties that come with supporting individuals who are on the autism spectrum. This is why we've made it our mission to provide programs and services that not only cater to people with autism, but their parents and caregivers as well. We believe in creating a community of resources and information that will help individuals and their families enjoy fulfilling lives. We are also passionate about creating a supportive environment that encourages growth, no matter how small the steps forward may seem. So join us today, and let us help you along your journey.
