Introduction to Autism
Are you a grandparent and primary caregiver of someone on the autism spectrum? This workshop is designed specifically for you. Loving and supporting a grandchild on the spectrum may be different from your dream about becoming a grandparent. Learn about the key features of autism and how they may impact your ability to build a bond with your grandchild. Topics will include effective communication tools, sensory needs, supporting the IEP and being on a team, supporting other family members to understand autism, and community resource options.
Presenter: Diane Nackers, MS CCC-SLP, Autism Society of the Fox Valley .
Cost: Free
