FEAT has grown from its initial six families in 1996 to over 1000 today. Most FEAT families develop and implement intensive in-home ABA programs for their children with autism with little outside support . FEAT of Washington helps these families by providing them with necessary informational and training resources.
In 1999, FEAT of Washington began offering clinical service programs to its member families. FEAT currently serves more than 300 students each year in its clinical programs and provides more than 22,000 hours of very high quality intervention through it's clinical services programs.
In addition FEAT supports families through mentoring and providing in-person and on-line resources, as well as statewide parent advocacy for better access to evidence based treatment and research based education.
