Thompson Center researchers recently attended the International Society for Autism Research, INSAR annual meeting in Prague! There, we showcased some of the transformative research taking place at the Thompson Center with collaborators, including findings from the Early Years research study. We are so grateful for the opportunity to share outcomes from our research core around the world and learn from the insights of other renowned researchers.

It's Missouri, it's summertime, and it's tornado season. As we prepare for sirens and determine our safe spaces, we're sharing a social story (for all ages!) that illustrates ways to stay safe and calm in the midst of a tornado watch or warning, provided by the Thompson Center training team!

Today, we're giving a special thank you to our speech-language pathologists! 🌟

These communication superheroes help patients develop effective ways to communicate and express themselves, from sharing basic needs to refining interpersonal and social skills. Our speech-language pathologists have busy days β€” on a typical day, they might assess communication skills during an evaluation, work one-on-one with patients, help families develop new skills with Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) devices, and run an engaging social skills group for preteens, just to name a few things. We're so grateful for this amazing team and all that they do for our families! Thank you, speech-language pathologists!
