Next Steps is Q&A session primarily designed for primary caregivers who have a child that has recently been diagnosed with an Autism Spectrum Disorder. However, this seminar may also be beneficial for other caregivers, educational or therapy professionals, and other adult family members.

A comprehensive manual regarding diagnosis, treatment, rights, and family support is distributed (one per household). No direct or individual consultation on treatment decisions will be given. Additionally, since child care will not be provided, we ask that children not attend.
