About Autism Connections at the Inclusive Community Center

At Autism Connections, we are dedicated to providing support, information, and practical help for children and adults with autism, along with their families, friends and professionals, in western Massachusetts. Our two main offices are located in Springfield, Hadley and Pittsfield, but our Autism Specialists are available throughout Hampden, Hampshire, Franklin, Berkshire counties, and the North Quabbin area. When a family first contacts us, they will be welcomed by someone who understands autism and their needs. We provide basic information about autism, our services, and how they can begin to advocate for their child and obtain needed supports. As children make transitions to preschool, kindergarten, high school and adulthood, Autism Connections is there to walk alongside them and continue to provide information and support.

Is online therapy actually effective?
Research shows that for many issues—such as anxiety, depression, stress and relationship difficulties—online therapy can be just as effective as in-person sessions. What often matters most is finding a therapist you connect with and staying consistent over time.

When is online therapy a better fit than in-person?
Online therapy is ideal if you:
  • have a busy or changing schedule,
  • live far from providers or have limited transport,
  • prefer the privacy and comfort of your own space,
  • travel frequently or split time between locations.
For many people, this flexibility is what makes it possible to actually stay in therapy.

Is online therapy private and secure?
Reputable online therapy platforms use encrypted connections and secure apps that are designed for confidential healthcare communication. Sessions are held in a private space of your choosing, which can feel safer than a public waiting room.
See trusted online therapy platforms →
How do costs compare with in-person therapy?
Online therapy can sometimes be more affordable overall: there are no travel costs, less time away from work or family, and many platforms offer predictable weekly pricing. The value often comes from being able to attend regularly without extra friction.
