Support the Autism Family Caregivers Act
Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick (PA-01), alongside Representatives Dave Min (CA-47), Grace Meng (NY-06), Henry Cuellar (TX-28), Don Bacon (NE-02), and María Elvira Salazar (FL-27), introduced the bipartisan Autism Family Caregivers Act. The bill will soon be introduced in the Senate as well. 


This bill would establish a five-year pilot program providing competitive grants to nonprofits, community health centers, and hospitals to deliver evidence-based caregiver skills training. This legislation would deliver crucial practical training through local organizations to help caregivers build skills, reduce stress, and improve outcomes for their children. These programs are designed to equip family caregivers with the tools they need to strengthen communication, manage behaviors, reduce stress, and improve outcomes for children. 

The Autism Society and our network of affiliates understand how difficult it is for families to navigate the world of Autism services and supports. This bill would be a crucial step in helping support communities. 
 

Please use this Action Alert to urge your Members of Congress to support this vital legislation!
