Where do I go?
Who do I see?
Where do I START?
Start with us.
Whether you're new to the spectrum or have been traveling the path, sometimes it can seem overwhelming.
We know.
We know because we've been where you are.
We're a network of Miami moms with children on the autism spectrum.
Our website is an excellent source of information, but it's not all we're about.
Not by a long shot.
We're willing to lend a hand, to answer questions, to point you in the right direction, or to just listen.
We can't tell you that the journey is going to be easy---nothing worthwhile ever really is---but it can be done.
Believe in your child.
Believe in your yourself.
We do.
With our hearts let us see, with our hands let us break every chain.
Helen Keller
