Great River Autism Connection

History

Started by an area mom of a child with Autism, the Great River Autism Connection (GRAC) moved to Quincy Medical Group(QMG) at the establishment of pediatric therapy in 2010. Since then, the group has provided families and caregivers of individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders a chance to learn, share and gain support from the group.

Work

With monies raised, the GRAC offers free events for families to connect, provides resources, and promotes educational opportunities. Each year the GRAC hosts a walk to create awareness, acceptance, and connection within the community.

Mission Statement

The Great River Autism Connection provides families and caregivers of individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders a chance to learn, share, and gain resources. Monies raised provide free resources and educational opportunities to individuals of all ages, families, teachers, and caregivers to improve overall functioning and success in the home, school, and community environments. Our focus is on awareness, connection, and acceptance.
