Community Services and Programs Disclaimer

Autism Community Training (ACT) receives requests from organizations, agencies, businesses, and service providers to share information about programs, services, events, and resources that may be of interest to the autism and neurodivergent community. As a service to the community, ACT may post this information on its website.

The inclusion of an organization, service, event, or resource on ACT’s website does not constitute an endorsement, recommendation, accreditation, or approval by ACT of the organization, its staff, its programs, its policies, or the quality or effectiveness of the services provided.

Individuals and families are encouraged to conduct their own due diligence before engaging with any organization or service. This may include reviewing qualifications, asking about costs, eligibility requirements, service approaches, accessibility, privacy practices, cancellation policies, and any other factors that may be relevant to their circumstances.

Information about organizations and services may change over time. While ACT makes reasonable efforts to ensure information is current, we cannot guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or ongoing availability of information provided by third parties.

Please contact the organization directly with any questions regarding its programs, services, availability, referrals, fees, registration, or policies. ACT does not manage or administer the services offered by listed organizations, cannot answer questions on their behalf, and cannot intervene in matters relating to their programs or services.

ACT is not responsible for the services provided by third-party organizations or for any decisions, experiences, or outcomes arising from an individual’s use of those services.
