How CAE Supports Families

Autism Family Navigation (AFN) is the heart of CAE.

It's the support, guidance, and clarity families need as they navigate life with an autistic child — from early questions to long-term planning.

We offer Autism Family Navigation in three different ways, so families can choose the level of support that fits them best right now.

What is Autism Family Navigation?

Autism Family Navigation

You got the diagnosis.
We know what comes next.

Most families leave the evaluation office with a list of names and zero guidance. We change that.

We are autism parents. We've held that list. We've done the late-night Google spirals, sat in the wrong waiting rooms, and learned — sometimes the hard way — who the right providers are and how to actually move forward.

So we built the resource we wish we'd had. A real human who does the research, vets the providers, and hands you a plan built specifically for your child.

So — what do we actually do?

We are your concierge, your travel agent, and your most connected parent friend — all in one. We review your child's evaluations, research and vet providers, check waitlists, and build you a personalized CarePlan so you know exactly what to do next. You focus on your family. We handle the rest.

Here's exactly what happens.

From your first call to your CarePlan — no surprises.

1
Free 15-minute call
We get to know your situation and make sure CAE is the right fit. No pressure — just a real conversation.
2
You complete your intake & send us your documents
Evaluations, IEPs, psych reports, therapy plans — we study everything before we ever get on a call with you.
3
1-hour intake call with your Navigator
We go deep on your child's profile, your family's priorities, logistics, and goals.
4
We go to work
Your Navigator researches providers, vets options, checks waitlists, and builds your plan. This all happens behind the scenes — and it's included.
5
Your CarePlan arrives within 7 days
A clear, personalized roadmap — therapy recommendations, provider options, school considerations, and your next steps. Built for your child. Not a template.
6
CarePlan delivery call + 30-day check-in
We walk through your plan together, answer every question, and check back in 30 days. You're never left to figure it out alone.

Choose the support that fits right now.

  • Ask anything — no topic off limits
  • Leave with direction and a sense of calm
CarePlan

We study your documents, vet providers, and build a plan tailored to your child — delivered within 7 days. You only pay for your time with us. The research happens behind the scenes, on us.

  • CarePlan delivered within 7 days
  • 30-min walkthrough call
  • 30-min check-in at 30 days

CAE never receives payment for referring you to a provider — not through the directory, and not through our 1:1 work. Every recommendation comes from our team, from trusted families, or from professionals in the autism community. As autism moms ourselves, we will only ever send you to someone we would trust with our own children. Learn more →
