TouchPoint Autism Services provides in-home respite support for children with an autism spectrum disorder and their families.  Services are uniquely designed to help manage familial stress, improve the child’s functional abilities, and increase natural supports. TouchPoint matches families with autism-trained, compatible respite providers (Individual Support Assistants). Respite providers utilize behavioral intervention techniques designed to address the unique challenges associated with autism and to support the child in achieving their personal goals.

Eligible participants are St. Louis County children, ages 2 to 19, with an autism spectrum disorder diagnosis.
