Haitian Creole Support Group
Welcome to Nou Konprann Otis, a support group created to provide support, education, and resources to Haitian families impacted by autism. Our goal is to offer culturally aware guidance and help parents feel empowered as they advocate for their children throughout their developmental journey. The group is facilitated by Jeffrey Lucas, Clinical Outreach Specialist and Haitian Creole speaker, who is passionate about supporting families and helping them connect with resources, services, and community support. Through open discussions, guest speakers, and shared experiences, families can learn more about autism spectrum disorder (ASD), school supports, community resources, and strategies to help their children thrive. You are not alone, we are here to support and walk alongside you. Meetings are held virtually on the last Thursday every other month.

Gwoup Sipò Kreyòl Ayisyen
Byenvini nan Nou Konprann Otis, yon gwoup sipò ki fèt pou bay fanmi ayisyen ki afekte pa otis sipò, edikasyon, ak resous. Objektif nou se ofri gidans ki respekte kilti nou epi ede paran yo santi yo pi prepare pou defann pitit yo pandan devlopman yo. Gwoup la fasilite pa Jeffrey Lucas, Clinical Outreach Specialist ki pale Kreyòl Ayisyen, ki gen pasyon pou sipòte fanmi yo epi ede yo jwenn sèvis, resous, ak sipò nan kominote a. Atravè diskisyon ouvè, envite espesyal, ak eksperyans pataje, fanmi yo kapab aprann plis sou twoub spectre otis (ASD), sipò lekòl, resous kominotè, ak estrateji pou ede pitit yo devlope epi reyisi. Nou vle fanmi yo konnen yo pa poukont yo — nou la pou mache ansanm avèk yo. Reyinyon yo fèt vityèlman dènye Jedi chak lòt mwa.

Parents as Partners Program
Modeled after the AFB program developed by UF Gainesville CARD
Parents as Partners provides parents with additional coaching support for the journey of raising a child with ASD. The program pairs seasoned parents who are further along in the journey of raising their child with autism, with parents who are just beginning that process or would like additional support along their journey. The Parent as Partner role does not replace the Clinical Support Specialist, but rather serves as a parental coach providing encouragement, strength and hope to a parent raising a child with autism. The participation in this program is voluntary. This program is intended to serve as another level of support for identified FAU CARD parents.
