Join us for an event focused on Early Identification and Autism, where we’ll explore important ways to support people on the Autism Spectrum.
We’ll talk about the barriers families and professionals often face, but also highlight innovative strategies to improve identification and care.
We’ll cover care navigation, making it easier to connect with the support you need.
Finally, we’ll discuss ways to tackle social communication challenges at home and school.
