Community and Recreation Resources
Should I be involved in my community?
Being involved in your community is beneficial for both the caretaker and the child. Exploring what your community has to offer can bring new connections and a better quality of life. St. Louis is a vibrate community full of inspiring stories and resources. ABA Consulting Services is proud to be based in such a diverse and powerful area.
Note:
*We want to provide you with community and recreation resources. The more tools you have as a primary care giver the better experience your child will have.
We in no way are affiliating ourselves with these organizations or their actions. Because of this we can not guarantee that they will be a fit for your needs as every situation is different. To work with these organizations you will have to contact them individually.
