Alpine Learning Group kicked off their Innovations in Autism webinar series for Autism Acceptance month. I'm looking forward to joining them next week to discuss how to provide a system of support for the entire family.

Join us for our upcoming Innovations in Autism webinar, Family Wellness in the Care of Individuals with Autism! The unique experiences of family members of individuals with autism can lead them to feel a broad range of complex emotions. In this presentation, Dr. Fiske will summarize the impact of an autism diagnosis on the family and provide recommendations for family coping and support.
