The Empowerment Collective’s mission is to bring awareness to the needs of families impacted with autism-related disorders. We will develop partnerships necessary to improve the quality of life for families, improve safety, and long-term outcomes for children with autism-related disorders. We will partner with families to improve educational outcomes and self-advocacy by increasing the knowledge of educational rights, providing referral services, and assisting with state and federal entitlement application processes to ensure families are receiving services available to ease the quality of life. We will provide recreational and vocational opportunities to children with autism-related disorders to increase social skills/interactions, vocational skills, and self-regulation.
