About Us

The Autism Support Team for the Polk County Schools provides information to schools, parents and students about Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). The support team offers a variety of trainings for teachers, administrators, support staff and school personnel. We also consult with schools and support the staff and students when needed. We can provide parents with information regarding Autism Spectrum Disorders such as Autistic Disorder, Asperger’s Syndrome, and Pervasive Developmental Disorder. We also can give parents information about various support offered in the community.
