GUIDANCE WHEN YOU NEED IT MOST
About
North Star Family Autism Center was founded to provide support to individuals with autism spectrum disorder and their parents, siblings, or other caregivers as they navigate their experiences.
Using therapeutic approaches guided by research, North Star Family Autism Center offers family education, parent training, social support, and individual therapy for family members. Our therapists aim to walk alongside caregivers in their journey to build knowledge, coping skills, and confidence in caring for their family member with autism.
To best support the entire family, North Star Family Autism Center also provides individual therapy for children, adolescents, and adults with autism.

You may feel unable to communicate with your child or manage their challenging behavior. Learn to better understand your child's needs so that you can address any challenges in a way that works for your family.

COPING
Having a child or a sibling with autism spectrum disorder can be isolating. Connect and learn with other families who have had similar experiences in a supportive environment.

THERAPY FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH AUTISM
