Helping Hands Family

Autism FYI is a Bowie-based nonprofit focused on safety, inclusion, and independence for autistic people and their families across Prince George's County. Rather than clinical ABA sessions, the team trains first responders, educators, and community partners on respectful communication and recognition during emergencies. Programs include a 24-hour hotline for emergency personnel, safety products that make autistic individuals easier to locate in crisis, and workshops that build local awareness. Partnerships with businesses and neighbors aim to prevent misunderstandings before they escalate. Families use Autism FYI when they need systemic community support, professional education, and practical safety tools beyond what a single therapy room can offer.

In-home and community-based ABA therapy for children with autism across the Baltimore metro area and surrounding Maryland communities. Bright Builders ABA brings patient, compassionate, evidence-based care into the places where children already live, learn, and play, so new skills carry over into everyday routines.
