Awareness. Acceptance. Advocacy.
Happy Autism Awareness Month

____

Founded in 1972, the goal of autism awareness month is to increase awareness and spark change to enhance the lives of those within the autism community. Today, we continue to embody these goals as we focus on the pillars of awareness, acceptance, and advocacy. These pillars serve as a reminder to continuously support the enrichment of the autism community by celebrating milestones, exploring possibilities, and increasing inclusivity. 
Share Your Story

The BCBAs of Therapy Brands shared their stories about how they promote awareness, acceptance, and advocacy with clients, in their personal life, and within the community. Now we want to hear your stories. What are some ways that you embody these pillars in your practice, with your clients, and with their families? Together we can create better outcomes and increase inclusivity for those within the autism community.

At the end of the month, we will anonymously share these stories with our community of providers so we can continue to learn and grow together. Share your stories below.
