"The Autism Society is pleased to collaborate with ExtendaTouch to assist caregivers from across the country and in communities throughout the nation to connect with each other. Through ExtendaTouch, caregivers within the autism community can communicate online with others who have similar experiences. We want all our affiliates and their members to have access to this much-needed service," said Christopher Banks, President, and CEO of the Autism Society of America. 

ExtendaTouch solves the problem of inefficiencies in an ad-hoc support system in the marketplace for caregivers. The Company specializes in matching the needs of caregivers with peer-to-peer support. Family and professional caregivers have enormous amounts of knowledge and experience. ExtendaTouch is the go-to organization for caregivers ho are often overwhelmed, isolated, and lonely.

"We are creating a unifying caregiver community that provides a broad sense of protection, support, and belonging. It's the reason why we created ExtendaTouch. Caregivers and their loved ones within the autism spectrum face daily challenges from outright rejection to unfair stigmatizing myths. Our mission is to help those caregivers connect with each other to safely share information that will make their journey more productive and help create ways to gain acceptance and respect for those they love," said Andy Cramer, Founder of ExtendaTouch.

ExtendaTouch is a caregiver support network with a platform that enables fast, private, personal connections between caregivers. Contact is opt-in, and profiles are anonymous, allowing the caregivers to discuss sensitive topics, including self-care, without fear of stigma. ExtendaTouch understands the difficulties for caregivers to openly discuss their personal issues. Because of that, ExtendaTouch is the only platform that connects caregivers anonymously to further enable equality, diversity, and inclusion.
