About Us
The Autism Council of Utah (ACU) is an independent council working to foster collaboration, communication, and learning among families and agencies. Our aim is to promote access to resources and responsible information for individuals of all ages who have, or are affected by autism, or related conditions. The Council will accomplish this by supporting statewide partnerships to collaborate on special projects, research, and training.
HISTORY
The ACU has been working diligently since 2005 to establish an effective organization that can benefit Utah’s families and agencies. Although we are an independent Council, we have support from the Governor as well as the executive department
s of the State.
The ACU’s focus is on supporting other organizations and agencies, and maintaining and improving services and resources for people with autism throughout the State. The membership of the ACU consists of a core group of parents and many professionals, organizations, and agencies across the State of Utah.
Some of our projects are:
- Sponsoring and co-sponsoring several autism conferences, trainings and workshops, most recently the Family Links Conferences, Autism and Faith Summit and Keeping it Safe: Managing Difficult Behaviors.
- Representing ACU in several arenas such as the Utah Autism Initiative, Governor’s Commission for Early Childhood Development, DSPD Lifespan Respite Coalition, Special Care Advisory Board, Special Educator, pediatric grand rounds and the Utah Council for Exceptional Children (to name a few).
We are excited about our continuing progress and achievements. We are always looking for new ways to partner with organizations, parents and others. You can join our efforts today by visiting our Membership page.
