Minnesota DHS Autism Videos
"On the Autism Spectrum: Families Find Help and Hope" is a series of five short films that raise awareness and understanding of autism and services available to Minnesota families in the following communities: African American, Hmong, Latino, Native American, and Somali. The films were produced by the University of Minnesota's Institute on Community Integration for the Minnesota Department of Human Services.
The films provide support, encouragement, and direction for families experiencing autism within communities that have historically underutilized available resources. Each 15-20-minute film features interviews with parents, advocates, medical professionals, educators, and community leaders speaking in the language of the target community with English subtitles.
