Goals of the Seminar
After receiving the diagnosis of autism for a beloved child (or children),
parents typically struggle as they search through various resources to locate
information needed to help their child the fastest. The goal of the one-day New
Parent Orientation is to provide parents and caretakers the "jump start" they
need at the beginning of their journey from parents who have "been there, done
that." In addition to sage advice, parents who attend will receive: an overview
of beginning therapies and biomedical intervention, where to go for what
information, and recommended first steps. The seminar will be given by
experienced parents who volunteer their time in providing the education new
parents need.

Who should Attend?
This one-day seminar is geared for parents and caretakers of children affected
by autism. Content will be provided in an "overview" presentation with web and
book resource information for additional details. This seminar is geared to
parents and caretakers new to the autism journey (less than 18 months) who have
not yet started a behavioral/educational program or biomedical testing and
interventions.
