NYFS Survey Aims to Better Serve Children with Autism

The agency is developing a new curriculum for individuals/families in Newtown that are looking for social recreational and educational programming for children with autism spectrum disorders.

A message from Newtown Youth and Family Services (NYFS):

We are developing a new curriculum for individuals/families that are looking for social recreational and educational programming for children with autism spectrum disorders. We are working closely with the Autism Resources and Services of CT and just hired a full time recreational therapist that will lead these programs. 

We are requesting that Newtown families complete the attached survey, which is about current services available, suggestions for other services and what roadblocks they are experiencing.
