JumpStart (ages 18 months - 7 years old)
JumpStart® is designed for Arizona families of young children waiting for a diagnostic evaluation or report, and those who have been recently diagnosed or are at risk for ASD.
This is a six-week, entry-level program that provides information, support, training, and tools that parents and caregivers will need to navigate autism today and tomorrow. Parents will receive one-on-one coaching and learn strategies to immediately address their child’s social communication skills.
