As a parent of children with autism, you may have felt alone or isolated at times on your journey. You may feel as though no one understands what you are going through, and you may wonder if you are making the best decisions for your kids. Joining parent support groups can help you in many ways.
Reduce Isolation
When you have dedicated your life to helping your children, you can begin to feel isolated in some ways. In other ways, you may lack the adult interaction that is generally necessary for mental and emotional health. By involving yourself in parent support groups, you can begin to build those bonds again. Also, these support groups help you to become healthier, which directly benefits your children. You can meet with other parents in New York who are feeling the same way.
Boost Confidence
Even when you have thoroughly researched all of the options and asked all of the necessary questions, you may sometimes wonder if you are making the right decisions. In fact, you can feel doubt about your choices. Participating in support groups for parents allows you to speak with others who have the same concerns and doubts. You can learn that you aren’t alone. Additionally, and perhaps more importantly, you can boost one another’s confidence. You can remind one another that you are all making the right decision by pursuing ABA therapy.
Form Friendships
At many times, you may feel as though you cannot and should not prioritize yourself. Since you are focused on the ABA therapy and the needs of your children, you may have had to let friendships fall to the wayside. However, people need friend, and these support groups can provide you with those levels of interaction. Meeting other parents in New York who are going through similar situations also opens up the possibility of spending time together outside of the support groups. Remember that nurturing yourself is an important part of nurturing your children.
These support groups provide you with wonderful opportunities. Instead of feeling as though you are alone in the world, you can know that others are there going through the experience too. This level of support can make a serious difference in how you perceive the world.
Research over the last 40+ years has shown the efficacy of ABA Therapy for individuals diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder.
A big shoutout to the ABS team for the incredible progress my son has made over the past year, thanks to Lennox, James, and the rest of your team. His communication, participation, and empathy have reached new heights. Everyday activities like baths and dinner are no longer a struggle. Now, with my son attending Kindergarten independently, we are excited to celebrate his graduation from ABA services. This achievement is a testament to your success. We truly appreciate everything you've done for my son!

I want to take the time to thank you guys for all your hard work. I know your job isn't easy but I want you to know that your hard work is paying off. My son is doing things he's never done before interested in potty believe it or not he grabs my hand and takes me to the bathroom so he can sit although he doesn't do anything but he takes me. He eats oranges and strawberries that was unheard of a few months ago he sometimes eats with a spoon even if it's for a few seconds that was unheard of he's more attentive omg the list goes on. I just wanted to take the time to say ty and I have the best therapist in the world.

A big thank you to Esti Perl, Intake coordinator, for helping us navigate the insurance information. We were never provided by other agencies all our options. We were struggling to find Full-Time employment and pay for ABA therapy caused us tremendous stress. Esti has helped us save so much money, and we received the very best ABA therapist.
