Heart of Texas Autism Network / 2013 Walk

The Heart of Texas
Autism Network
works to increase
and improve the
resources that will
empower people
with Autism
Spectrum Disorder
(ASD) to participate
fully in our
community.

For more information

We have no dues or
fees for membership.
Monthly meetings are
held with speakers,
discussion and
fellowship.

Free skilled child care is
usually available, with a
reservation, for children
with autism spectrum
disorders and their
siblings.

HOTAN is a 501(c)(3)
non-profit organization
and donations are
tax deductible.

The Walk has also
helped other local
programs that benefit
families and individuals
with autism, such as the
Arc of McLennan
County and the Baylor
Autism Resource
Center.

The Arc of McLennann
County provides care
and support for
persons and the
families affected by
autism, intellectual and
developmental
disabilities.

Each summer the Arc
offers an 8-week day
camp for children with
disabilities, including
a unique and
specialized curriculum
for children with autism.

Many parents would not
be able to continue
working during the
summer if it were not for
the Arc Summer Day
Camp.

The Arc camp enables
parents to know that
quality care is being
provided for their
children during the
summer months. For
more information, call
254-756-7591 or
visit their website.

The Baylor Autism
Resource Center
helps fill a critical gap in
resources for this
region, offering social
skills groups for all
ages, ABA therapies,
parent training
sessions, books/DVDs
available to check out,
and more.
