We encourage parents and professionals to contact us regarding additions or deletions to the
resource guide. Please check our website for monthly updates, www.anybabycansa.org.
The second page of this resource booklet is a guide to direct you in the recommended order to
access resources in San Antonio once a child is diagnosed with autism. The intent of the chart is to
give you a list of categories and the suggested order to access those services. This is not a
representation of all available resources and is intended to serve as a helpful guide. You may
access services in the order of what you and your family find most important, and you may find
other resources that better fit your child/family’s needs.
We hope that you find this resource guide helpful in learning what services are available to you
and your family. Please feel free to share this with others that may be in need, and visit our website
www.anybabycansa.org or call (210) 227-0170 for more information.
