What is ALUT?

ALUT centers offer after-school social frameworks for children and youth on the autistic spectrum. These activities take place in groups 2-3 times a week and participate in additional activities. The goal of ALUT’s children division is to provide developmental and provisional programming to act as rehabilitative-educational services for toddlers, children, and their families. The center also strives to preserve and promote the rights of families with young children with autism.
