What is G.R.O.W.I.N.G?
FAMILY & COMMUNITY SUPPORT
What is it all about?
G.R.O.W.I.N.G. is G.R.O.W.’s family and community support program. We connect children and caregivers with practical resources, education and community support that promote health, safety, preparedness and inclusion.
As part of G.R.O.W.’s Autism Family Inclusion specialty, the program is designed with autistic individuals and their caregivers in mind while remaining inclusive of families throughout the broader community.

WHY IT MATTERS
When caregivers have reliable information, practical skills and meaningful community connections, families are better prepared to respond to challenges and plan for their children’s needs.
G.R.O.W.I.N.G. helps strengthen the whole family by making support easier to understand, easier to find and closer to home.
Stronger families create stronger opportunities for children to G.R.O.W.
