We are excited to announce a new partnership between the Autism-Community (http://www.autism-community.com/) and DynaVox Mayer-Johnson (www.dynavoxtech.com) (www.mayer-johnson.com). Autism-Community was launched in 2008 with the goal of becoming a hub of information for family members, friends and teachers of people with Autism Spectrum Disorders. As the community has grown we’ve wanted to expand the depth and breadth of information and resources with which we connect community members. This brings us to the new partnership.
This collaboration is going to bring about a lot of positive change for the Autism-Community, because we will be working with DynaVox Mayer-Johnson to enhance the resources and information available on the website. We're hopeful that together we can develop a comprehensive site which is useful and engaging to the community. Over the next few months they will be helping us incorporate more resources, more stories and more ways for you to be involved with other members of the Autism Community.
Some new features in the works include:
1. More Extensive Resources and Information About: Autism, ABA, AAC, Data Collection, Evidence-Based Interventions, Alternative Interventions, Assessments, IEPs, Adult Services, and more.
2. A Community Center which will include discussion topics, personal stories, tips for parents and teachers, downloadable resources and state-by-state resources.
There are many more wonderful changes to come, and we here at Autism-Community could not be more thrilled that DynaVox Mayer-Johnson has taken an interest in what we do here: provide useful information and resources to families and professional involved with individuals with autism and help members of the autism community get connected with the support and services they need.
Because we are the Autism-Community, we are actively seeking input from community members: individuals with autism, family, friends, and professionals. We want this website to be a reflection of what you all find useful and helpful. If you have any suggestions about information and resources we could offer that would enhance the community-friendliness of the site please send them to us at: info@autism-community.com. This site is all about you, and we need your input to make sure we're able to best serve the community as a whole. If you would like to subscribe to daily updates or become a contributor to the Autism-Community, visit our website and sign up today!
Sincerely,
