Autism pioneer Jane Salzano founded CSAAC (Community
Services for Autistic Adults and Children) in 1979 after the
diagnosis of her eldest son. CSAAC, a private, non-profit
agency, provides services to those with autism across the
lifespan. In this documentary, Jane talks about the inspiration
for her efforts in spearheading the establishment of CSAAC,
as well as its ongoing legacy in helping those with autism.
