April is Autism Awareness Month — a time to raise awareness, challenge stigma, and build support.
This month, one of the highlights is Autism Connections' 34th Annual Autism Conference, happening Thursday, April 30, at the Sheraton Hotel in Springfield.
This event brings together autistic individuals, families, educators, clinicians, and community partners for a day of learning and shared experience.
The conference will feature 18 breakout sessions led by experts and individuals with autism exploring practical strategies, new research, and real-world insights.
And when the conference wraps, the work continues. Autism Connections provides year-round support, helps build understanding, and ensures people don't have to navigate their journey with autism alone.
Whole Children and Milestones had the opportunity to be at the first Annual Best Buddies Walk at Williston Northampton School this past Sunday! 🌦️🌈

For the second year in a row, ServiceNet's outpatient mental health clinics have been voted “Best in the Valley” in the Valley Advocate’s readers’ poll 🏆
The honor comes just months after a significant milestone for ServiceNet. In July 2025, River Valley Counseling Center (RVCC) became a member organization of ServiceNet, and in February 2026, all ServiceNet outpatient clinics joined RVCC, making it one of the largest providers of community mental health services in western Massachusetts.
This growth strengthens coordination across programs and expands access to care at a time when the need has never been greater 💜

Meet Jorge Gonzalez Rosa, IT technician and award-winning dancer!
Since 2024, Jorge has been a steady, solutions-focused presence on ServiceNet's IT team, keeping computers running, monitoring internet connectivity in homes and offices, and refurbishing technology.
At the same time, he's been discovering a passion for ballroom dance. After only a few months of practice, he competed in an international dance competition in Chile, earning top student in the bronze division -- for someone brand new to ballroom, a remarkable achievement!
"People forget that we are human beings," said Jorge. "Dancing breaks the cycle. You're actually looking at the eyes of another human being, you're actually connecting with this person. You don't need words to be able to feel how that person feels."
Human connection has also been the motivation behind Jorge's career. For Jorge, technology has always been a way to help people. Growing up in Puerto Rico, he was fascinated by electronics from an early age. That curiosity led him to pursue a degree in microbiology and work as a lab technician, but it was IT that ultimately aligned with his vision of helping people in a meaningful way.
It is that same spirit of connection and empathy that Jorge brings to his work at ServiceNet every single day.
