Support
Autism is a challenging journey that often leaves parents feeling isolated. The NAA-NT provides weekly opportunities to connect with others through parent networking, English and Spanish support group meetings, educational seminars and special events. We bring in autism professionals from across the nation with the latest and greatest information to help your child. Make sure to check our calendar for upcoming opportunities to meet in person. Finding other families to walk through autism together with is key to parents’ mental health and children’s success.
A letter from our President – Dear Friends and Supporters: 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! We were able to hold family events, at the exciting Texas Legends end of Season basketball game and our Annual Holiday Family Celebration. Our self-advocacy meetings for teens and young adults started back up. 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 this year 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 year, Lucia B Weber President- NAA-NT
