Author of “Saving my Sons: A Journey with Autism” will be discussing her journey as a parent of a child with autism. She will also discuss educational programs for children with autism and applied behavior analysis (ABA), and how to tackle challenging behaviors. As a mother to a profoundly autistic adult she will share much insight on the autism diagnosis and the challenges parents face in raising children with autism.
