The organization Voices 4 the Spectrum held its first Autism Awareness Month Kickoff Resource Fair on March 28, 2025. The well-attended event brought together families, caregivers, advocates, and professionals in a supportive atmosphere for individuals on the autism spectrum.
Diamond Lee Williams, the passionate founder of Voices 4 the Spectrum, spent months organizing the fair to connect community members with essential resources they might otherwise struggle to find. The event featured a diverse group of vendors specializing in autism support services, with information tables lining the community center’s main hall.
“We came together as a community with one goal: to make sure no one on the spectrum is ever overlooked or left behind,” Williams said.
Among the participating vendors was Kynda Pass, Clinical Director of Illuminate ABA Therapy in Colorado. The organization offers personalized Applied Behavior Analysis therapy services, bringing hope to families seeking support for children on the spectrum.
Chris Forester of Forester Family Medical Supply demonstrated The Cubby Bed, an adaptive medical device designed for children with special needs. The company specializes in accessibility resources and Medicaid-covered equipment, continuing to lead in providing essential medical supplies.
The Resource Exchange (TRE) was represented by Physician and Community Outreach Specialist Ginger Stringer, who connected families with available services. Stringer demonstrated her commitment to walking alongside families through their journey, connecting them to vital resources that sustain lives.
Paige Knox attended as Community Engagement Lead for WovenCare, an organization that matches families with high-quality caregivers. At the neighboring table, Joseph Valdez and Juanita Macias Ibarra from Care to You provided information about their home health services, supporting families across all stages of care.
Additional participants included Julia VanWagnen, Community Outreach Specialist for Abby Care, which offers in-home care services, and a representative named Johnny from Angels of Care Pediatric Home Health.
The resource fair represents an ongoing effort to create a support network for individuals on the autism spectrum and their families. According to Williams, the event aimed to ensure that community members know about available resources and feel supported.
The fair marks the beginning of Autism Awareness Month activities for Voices 4 the Spectrum. The organization focuses on advocacy, education, and community building for those affected by autism spectrum disorders.
Williams expressed gratitude to all vendors who participated, noting that their contribution went beyond providing information. “You are not just vendors—you are Voices for the spectrum, and your commitment to our community deserves to be seen, celebrated, and shared,” Williams commented.
