We are a support group for caregivers of individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders in Katy, Texas. We discuss the many issues involved in raising and educating a child/adolescent/teen with an autism spectrum disorder.

This group is open to parents, educators in Katy ISD, and professionals who work with children on the autism spectrum. KAS believes that it is only through working together in partnership with one another that we can best serve our children.

Monthly meetings are held the third Tuesday of each month at St. Peters United Methodist Church, 20775 Kingsland Blvd.,Katy, TX 77450. Meeting time is 7:00 to 9:00pm in Asbury Hall (near the sanctuary). Childcare is available at meetings, but must be reserved at least 24 hours in advance. Details are posted to the message board before every meeting.
