Receiving an autism diagnosis for your child can bring a lot of questions. Where do you start? What services are available? Who can help you navigate the next steps?

The Iowa Regional Autism Assistance Program (RAP) is here to help families find information, resources, and support.

Our Family Navigators are parents and caregivers of children with special health care needs who bring their own lived experiences to the families they support.

Family Navigators can help families:

🔹 Learn about available services and resources

🔹 Explore therapy and support options

🔹 Connect with local and statewide resources

🔹 Navigate questions and challenges along the way

💙 RAP services are available at no cost to Iowa families of children and youth ages 0–21 with diagnosed or suspected autism.

The Autism Society of America suggested we contact local networks, and we thought your organization might be able to help us reach families in the Quad Cities region. We are currently recruiting participants for our project about a Social Story resource that we developed with autistic youth and their caregivers to help autistic youth prepare for and cope with vaccination. We are looking for autistic youth (7–18 years) and their caregivers to use the resource to prepare for a real vaccination and then give us feedback on their experiences. Participants must live in Canada or the U.S. and speak English fluently.
More opportunities for sharing about this study within your organization/network to help us reach families who might want to participate. I have attached our recruitment flyer, which can be emailed out, posted on websites, included in newsletters or memos, or otherwise shared through your community channels.

Thanks so much,
Alisa
(I am a research assistant from the PPHC Lab. Olivia Dobson (CC’d) and Dr. Meghan McMurtry are studying how to make needle procedures, like vaccinations, the most comfortable they can be for autistic youth.)
