November 17 ,2012 Meeting

Welcome Back! Our next meeting is on November 17, 2012 is canceled. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving and I will see all of you at our next meeting on December 15, 2012 from 10am-12pm.

Welcome back Supporters!

Come out and join us for a Roundtable discussion on Social Skills and Behavior! People with ASD often find themselves trying to learn behaviors that a typical person knows. There are many challenges in this area. It is often confusing and causes anxiety for all parties involved. I hope to share and learn strategies that will help my child with the following:

I look forward to hearing from you and seeing you at the meeting!
