Welcome to Threshold Autism Support
Our Services
Walking the straight and narrow line can be hard...We can help.
Our focus is on teaching healthy habits and guiding our clients towards their best outcome in four autism-related areas: 1. Behavior plan management. 2. Parenting skills necessary for the safety and education of their child on the autism spectrum. 3. First aid and de-escalation management. At Threshold, we focus on the gaps. Siblings, Parents, Safety, Skills, Continuity, and Support. Many agencies are so busy focusing on the child that the family is set aside. We have evolved through four generations from the early days when it was not called autism, and it was rare. Today, autism is not rare, and our focus is on the family.

About Our Autism Support
Autism Support for Families and Clinicians
Our primary focus is on the family. Dr. Wright was introduced to autism as a teenager in 1965 with the birth of his half-brother, Ben. Developmental disabilities can impact four generations in a family. Grandparents and, when available, great-grandparents can offer some respite. The parents are affected, and tragically, too often, divorce further damages the family. The next generation is the affected child and their siblings. The fourth generation is the children of the siblings. Ben is now 60 years old. The consistent support for him has been our grandmother (Gen 1), until her death. Our mother (Gen 2), until her death. My sister and I (Gen 3), and now my sister's oldest daughter (Gen 4),
Today, there are 2.7 million people on the spectrum who were raised in households of 3.15 people. Roughly estimated, 5,805,000 family members face a very different day every day. Our focus is the family.
