-In New York:
In 2016, Sinergia and GRASP were awarded a Department of Health three year grant to work with families in the Bronx, NY. Recently, this grant was renewed for another three year period. This program implements evidence-based strategies for self-determination and self-advocacy skills, components for the transition to adulthood, and community-based learning for Autistic and autism spectrum teens (ages 14-21) and provides informational workshops for parents and caregivers.
