Understanding Autism: A Primer for Parents, Kids and the Community
Autism Spectrum Disorders(ASD) are something we have been hearing more and more about in the media, yet we may not be sure exactly what this puzzling diagnosis means. Join us to learn about the signs and symptoms of ASD. What symptoms should parents look for? If you are already the parent of a child with ASD, you might be wondering how to explain it to your typically developing children, family members or friends. Or, maybe you have benefitted from the greater inclusion opportunities experienced by people with ASD, and are interested in learning more about how to best interact with a child’s classmates or a co-worker? Or, finally, you might be an individual with ASD yourself, looking to learn more about your diagnosis. Please join Dr. Beth Glasberg, of Rider University for a factual, yet casual discussion of ASD. Bring your questions! Registration required.
