Local Community Cadres

Local Community Cadres (LCCs) are regional community networks of families, professionals, and other community stakeholders invested in supporting individuals affected by autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and related developmental disabilities through participation in the local cadres for the purpose of identifying local needs and making targeted changes to positively impact ASD at the community level.

Interested in getting involved, but don’t know where to start? Fill out our engagement form.

There are many events scheduled this year. Find your region on the map and register to attend! All of these IIACC and LCC events are free and open to the public.
