Finding the way through the world of autism spectrum disorders can be overwhelming. Parents often tell us that they would like more guidance to best care for their family member. Others who are further along in their journey tell us they would like to share their knowledge.

Lurie Links seeks to close this gap by connecting seasoned parents with parents seeking guidance. We cannot guarantee that a match will be found since it is a volunteer program, but we will do our best to connect you.

How it works:

* To join as a mentor or as an individual seeking guidance, complete and submit the online registration form below

* Once submitted, you will receive a welcome letter confirming your registration.

* Lurie Links will provide the initial connection. Ongoing contact is permitted provided both parties agree.

* Members can withdraw at any time by contacting program staff.
