There are organizations in Utah that provide resources for autism. Many of them are members of the ACU. You can find links to those organizations by visiting our Partners and Members page, and many, many more resources on our Links page. Their resources are posted on their individual websites.
One of our great partners is the Utah Parent Center. The Utah Parent Center has a project called “Autism Information Resources”. Staff at the Center work closely with members of the Autism Council of Utah as well as others in Utah’s autism community to provide information and resources on autism. One of the services they provide is a collection of autism-specific resource lists as well as newsletters and basic information. List topics include: evaluation, assistive technology, service dogs, family support, recreation and many more! Using a parent-to-parent model, staff of the Center are available to provide one-on-one assistance as well. http://www.utahparentcenter.org/resources_autism.htm
