A Dad's Voice
In the field of Special Education, there are a lot of acronyms! There are countless times in your child's education that homework, classwork, and paper needed to be signed can overwhelm any parent. There is HOPE! Learn about the Parent Training and Information Center and the many resources they provide in a relaxing, no pressure, dad approved environment.

About Me
My name is Joseph Barton. I am a dedicated husband, technical project manager, and a proud father to three, 2 sons, and 1 daughter. About 5 years ago upon moving to the Orlando area, I created a support group for fathers of children on the Autism spectrum. We currently have over 100 members, who are fathers, with a vast amount of experience and perspectives where fatherhood meets disability. I served on the Autism Speaks Leadership Board in Dallas, Texas in various capacities, and now I enjoy improving the connections among dads in the Autism community here in the greater Orlando area.
