November is National Family Caregivers Month

This November, our focus is on National Family Caregivers Month, holiday planning, and preparation for travel and social events. Our Public Policy resources include an overview of the American Rescue Plan, early intervention planning, and access to our Action Center.

Did you know: 78 million family members in the US are providing unpaid care to children and adults? This month, the Autism Society is honoring caregivers nationwide who dedicate their time and resources to loved ones.
