AUTISM TREE PROJECT MENTORING PROGRAM The Mentor Program is a way to provide face-to-face support in a caring and warm environment for families new to the autism diagnosis. Mentors are both parents and professionals with strong knowledge of autism spectrum disorders in addition to a passion and commitment for empowering those who face the daily challenges of raising or educating a child with autism. Mentors are there to lend an ear, help families problem solve or find the help they need for their child, and offer emotional support. Mentors and parents meet at quarterly meetings arranged by ATPF. Anyone whose child has been recently diagnosed with autism is eligible to receive an ATPF mentor. The mentoring program is available in both English and Spanish. * * * * * * * * * * * Registration Forms Application to be a mentor (MS Word) (PDF) Application to receive a mentor (MS Word) (PDF) Formularios de Inscripcion Formulario para ser un mentor (MS Word) (PDF) Formulario para recibir un mentor (MS Word)
