The
mission of the Emory Autism Center is to help Georgia's people with autism
spectrum disorders reach their full potential. Family support in the treatment
process is the most crucial means of meeting this mission. No one can
match a family's dedication to their child, and a knowledgeable family
is a lifelong advocate.
When an
autism spectrum disorder is diagnosed, families are helped to understand
the range of possible outcomes and treatment options. Importantly, families
are taught the specialized teaching strategies that enable them to contribute
to their child's learning at home and in their community. When provided
with information, training related to identification of family concerns
and priorities, and ongoing support at the Emory Autism Center, families
no longer feel helpless and alienated, stress subsides and the quality
of life improves for all family members.
