📢📱Introducing our Social Media Chairman Mira 📢📱Introducing our Social Media Chairman Miranda Barnes! "THE DESIRE TO REACH THE STARS IS AMBITIOUS. THE DESIRE TO REACH HEARTS IS WISE". -Maya Angelou I love starting with this quote, because I truly feel it embodies what it means to be a part of NAA-NT. As a board member & social media chairman I aim to create a space where we can truly reach the hearts of Autism families in our community, and know them on a deeper level. This is why I love NAA-NT! I am happily married to my husband Dalton, and enjoy spending time with our two dogs Diesel & Brutus. I am passionate about the outdoors and being involved in my church. I've worked as an RBT for the past 3.5 years at a clinic in Plano & really feel it is my calling. I am thankful for NAA-NT and can't wait for what is to come in 2023!
✍️ A letter from our President - 12/31/2022 D ✍️ A letter from our President - 12/31/2022 Dear Friends and Supporters: As we wrap up the year, I would like to use this opportunity to thank you for being a part of our NAA-NT Family and Community. This year came with many challenges that we were able to turn to opportunities. We got to help numerous families with scholarships, allowing them to get the therapies and support they needed for their children. We were able to respond swiftly to our families in dire need, covering funeral expenses, emergency medical care, food and rent through our emergency grant program. We got to celebrate our teachers and therapists with a wonderful appreciation dinner. We even got to care for our Caretakers twice this year (thanks to a Covid rollover event)! We were finally able to hold family events again, at the exciting Texas Legends end of Season basketball game and our Annual Holiday Family Celebration a few weeks ago. Our self-advocacy meetings for teens and young adults started back up in person again. So we do have a lot to celebrate and be thankful for! We had an extra special year, welcoming 5 new Board members who have brought incredible energy to our Board. Our Board has worked diligently with our first responders and local services to create awareness and ongoing safety plans for our autism community in North Texas. We could not have done any of this without our incredible Supporters and Sponsors- Thank you!!! You have helped us in changing the lives of many in our community- giving them resources, support and most importantly hope for the future. I would like to wish all of our amazing Supporters, Sponsors and Members a very happy New Year! May 2023 be filled with purpose and dreams, love and health and an abundance of blessings for you and your families. Thank you for all you do for our community. We give so much hope and help to so many. It takes a village and YOU ALL have created a truly special one. I feel truly honored to be part of this wonderful NAA-NT Community. To a happy, healthy and blessed 2023, Lucia B Weber President- NAA-NT

Introducing long-time board member Archana Dhurka! 😀✨ "My passion for serving the Autism community first started when my oldest son Ankush was diagnosed at the age of 3. I started learning about ABA therapy, got my BCBA and opened a clinic to better serve the community. My hope is that all families dealing with Autism, receive the support and resources they need to be successful.
