AEFCT provides high quality services that are structured, comprehensive, and individualized. Our mission is to provide intervention to children with autism, putting the needs of each child first so that they are met fairly and appropriately. We use developmentally sound strategies supported by empirical evidence, combined with a team approach that involves family participation. Autism affects the entire family unit, and we recognize that parent education and participation are essential to achieve success.

Parent/Caregiver Training : Family participation is a central component of the AEFCT program. It is our belief that a child cannot be successful without the consistent direct involvement of the child’s parents/caregiver.
