💙 Free Autism Screenings Available in May 💙

At Easterseals Southwest Florida, we believe early identification can make a meaningful difference for children and families. That’s why we’re offering free autism screenings at several community locations this May for children up to 18 years old.

📅 May Screening Dates
May 7 • 2 PM – 5 PM – APC Pediatrics (1862 Rye Road E)
May 16 • 9 AM – 12 PM – Easterseals Main Campus
May 18 • 5 PM– 7 PM – Easterseals Main Campus
May 19 • 4 PM– 7 PM – Easterseals Main Campus
May 26 • 4 PM– 7 PM – Easterseals Main Campus
May 30 • 9 AM – 12 PM – Easterseals Main Campus

Early identification opens the door to support, services, and hope. After each screening, families receive case management, resources, and education to help guide next steps. This program is funded by the Florida Department of Health.

🪪 Please bring proof of residency (ID or utility bill).

Helping children feel capable and independent makes the transition to school easier because they feel confident.

Families can help build independence by encouraging kids to:
👟 Put on their own clothes and shoes
🎒 Pack and unpack their backpacks
🗣 Share their thoughts and ask questions
📅 Follow simple daily routines

Confidence starts at home 🧠
