People are saying...
“When we heard them say Abel had autism we were so scared and had no idea what to do next, or how to help our son,” Rachel, a parent of two sons on the autism spectrum, reflected. “But the staff at the AEA was so great and helped us through many challenges. Between both of my sons, I have been working with the staff at the AEA for a few years now, and we can’t thank them enough for all they have done for our family.”
