Navigating the Journey - Autism Spectrum Disorders at Home and at School

The journey for a family navigating ASD is both challenging and rewarding.  In this highly interactive and supportive workshop, Mitch will provide directions to guide you as you deal with the challenges and maximize the rewards of being a caregiver or educator for an individual with ASD.

You will leave this workshop with: 

  • An inspiring vision for Parenting children with ASD
  • The beginnings of a support system to help you reach that vision
  • Specific strategies and tools for use in your day-to-day interactions with your young person with ASD.
