CASD Ambassador Program!
Our first cohort of volunteers have been chosen for Fall 2013! If you are interested in volunteering, there will be another ambassador training session in the spring semester.

Congratulations!

Congratulations to our Bern and Howard Linker grant recipient! Through the generosity of Scott Linker, a local family in need is now able to have a free Asperger Syndrome or High Functioning Autism assessment.
