Autism Resources

Our website includes an extensive Autism Resources section. There you will find resources including an array of information about autism, evidence-based intervention practices, navigating the special education process, and links to tools and suggestions you can start using today.

This area also includes our Local Autism Resource Guide. You can use the guide to find out about supports and opportunities in the Lubbock and neighboring areas, including medical providers, specialists, social programming, community events, and family support resources.

East Lubbock Mobile and Telehealth Outreach Clinic (ELMO) Grant

The East Lubbock Mobile and Telehealth Outreach Clinic for Autism (ELMO) grant offers free applied behavior analytic (ABA) services to families with children with either a medical diagnosis of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) or a school eligibility of autism who live in the state of Texas. This service is for families of children of any age. This grant focuses on the East Lubbock area; however, services are provided to families across Texas.
