Arklahoma(AROK)Autism Support is a part of FEAT- Families for Effective Autism Treatment: Growing a Grassroots Chapter in Your Community. This group is provided as a way for parents to connect with other parents of children with Autism, ASD's as well as the autism community on a whole. All are invited to come here to find support and possibly learn from others about books, therapies, treatments, diets, vaccines, IEP's, disability rights etc. FEAT's Goals are to:

To educate the community so that children with Autism are identified at an early age (before 3 years)

To advocate directly with public agencies for services for children with Autism and assist parents in obtaining advocacy support to obtain appropriate services from private and public agencies for their children with autism.

To support families with Autistic children through support meetings and parent networking.

To provide and/or facilitate with public agencies initial early intervention training for families with children with Autism.
