WHAT WE DO

How We Support Families

Howard’s Heroes offers programs and services designed to support families impacted by autism and developmental disabilities through education, connection, and inclusive community experiences.

A safe, welcoming space for parents and caregivers raising children with autism or developmental differences. Join us each month to connect with others who understand, share experiences, and gain helpful tools for navigating home, school, and community life. Dinner and child care are provided — so you can focus on support, not logistics. Come share, learn, and connect in a safe space designed to build community and confidence.
A hands-on, play-based group where children and caregivers connect through guided activities designed by qualified professionals. Families practice communication, sharing, and emotional regulation while connecting with others on a similar journey. Each session includes take-home strategies and materials to encourage learning through play at home. Please let us know of any special accommodations your family may need when you RSVP.
Children are supported by trained ABA professionals and volunteers in a fun, sensory-friendly environment — giving parents a well-deserved evening to relax and recharge. This program is completely free for families, thanks to community sponsorship and donor support
We invite collaboration with local schools, preschools, and early learning programs to help connect families with these free community resources.
