Autism Support Groups in Dover, Delaware

In Dover, the anchor is <strong>Autism Delaware</strong>, the state's leading autism nonprofit. It maintains a Dover-area presence and runs programs that reach Kent County families, including parent coffee hours, a parent support group, and a grandparent support group, along with a Parent to Parent workshop offered in Autism Delaware offices and within several school districts. Its Family Navigation service lets families call to speak with someone who has been through similar challenges and get issue-specific guidance and resources — a good first call if you're not sure where to start. Autism Delaware also hosts social and recreational activities throughout the year for children, adults, siblings, and whole families.

Because Delaware is small and Autism Delaware operates statewide, Dover families also have access to its broader calendar of events and adult services, including the POW&R employment program for adults 21 and older. The Parent Information Center of Delaware (PIC) adds free help navigating special education. Between Autism Delaware's Kent County presence and its statewide reach, central Delaware families are well connected even where local specialty care is thinner.
