Helpful New Tool for Families: The Laurel Foundation / ACT Autism Collective



Finding the right support for a child on the autism spectrum can sometimes feel overwhelming. The Laurel Foundation / ACT – Autism Community Training Autism Collective is here to make that journey a little easier.

This free online tool guides you through a short, confidential survey about your child’s age, strengths, and needs. In return, you’ll receive a personalized list of supports that other families—whose children share similar experiences—have found most helpful.

✅ Private and confidential
✅ Simple to use
✅ Free of charge
✅ Accessible to families everywhere—including rural and remote communities

Most importantly, this resource is designed with families in mind, so you don’t have to navigate the system alone.
