FREE Information Sharing Webinar

About the Webinar: Effective advocacy by both practitioners and caregivers is essential to meeting the unique needs of children with autism. It is also critical that we support self-advocacy by the individual. This 30-minute webinar will help both practitioners and caregivers develop a framework for creating a collaborative approach, in which the child’s needs can be met.

Learning Objectives:
• Participants will learn effective ways to advocate for children with autism.
• Participants will learn how to support advocacy by caregivers or the individual with autism.
• Participants will learn strategies for creating a collaborative environment in which the needs of the child come first.
