Black Families and Providers Accessing Services Together (BFAST)

Research has shown that Black children are diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) at later ages than white children, and there are often disparities in accessing both diagnostic and intervention services. As a result, we’ve created a website in collaboration with members of the Black community to equip families with the resources to support their Black autistic children, and to access early intervention services across North Carolina
