Parent Workshops and Groups for Families Navigating Autism

Parent Support Groups: Connection Without Judgment

Parenting a neurodivergent child can feel isolating — but you’re not alone. Our virtual parent support groups offer a compassionate, understanding space where you can:

• Share challenges and successes in a safe, supportive environment

• Gain emotional support and encouragement from other parents

• Learn practical tools for communication, routines, and behavior

• Celebrate progress and neurodiversity together

Each group is facilitated by a licensed psychologist, ensuring discussions are both meaningful and guided by expertise. Groups are available virtually for families throughout Texas, Florida, and Louisiana, with flexible scheduling options.

Parent Workshops: Practical Learning for Real-Life Challenges

Our virtual Parent Training Workshops are interactive sessions that help families better understand autism and learn practical strategies they can use every day.

Topics may include:

• Recognizing early signs of autism

• Building communication and joint attention

• Supporting sensory regulation and emotional balance

• Encouraging play and social engagement

• Managing transitions and reducing stress

• Fostering independence and daily living skills

Workshops are offered for individual families, schools, and community organizations, allowing content to be tailored to your needs and goals.

Our Approach: Practical, Strength-Based, and Family-Centered

At Access Autism Testing & Consultation (AATC), we believe effective parent support focuses on strengths — not deficits.

Our approach is:

• Strength-Based: We focus on what works and build from there.

• Family-Centered: Every recommendation aligns with your family’s culture, values, and routines.

• Accessible: 100% virtual — join from anywhere in Texas, Florida, or Louisiana.

Research-Backed: Strategies are grounded in developmental and behavioral science.
