What are people saying about AFC? The West Hartford Patch recently featured AFC's work in this video!

"It makes me feel like I'm not the only one in the world with this disorder."

"It's really something she looks forward to; hanging out with other children in the group in a nonjudgmental type of atmosphere."

-Alex Crawford, parent

	Recreational, social, and cultural programs
	Many children with Autism Spectrum Disorders face immense hurdles when participating in standard sports and activities. AFC focuses on the unique needs of children with Autism Spectrum Disorders to provide families with meaningful access to sensory-friendly, appropriate activities. These include sports, music, swimming, physical recreation, cultural activities, and more.

CONNECTing families

AFC recognizes the overwhelming challenges facing families affected by Autism Spectrum Disorders.

Several of our programs encourage siblings to join in on the fun, and allow the whole family to be together.

AFC also hosts get-togethers for parents to meet each other and connect to others to foster support in the community.
