Family ECHO: Autism and Anxiety

November 18, 2021 at 4:00 pm - November 18, 2021 at 5:15 pm
Online Event

Join a community of families learning to better support their autistic children. From navigating a diagnosis to learning about new therapies, parents and caregivers of children with Autism need an immense amount of knowledge and support in order to provide the best care to their loved ones. But often, that information can be difficult to access.

Family ECHO is here to help with a virtual learning program that brings clinical professionals and subject matter experts right to your screen. In this series you will learn, engage and build skills around four major topics:

• Understanding and managing challenging behaviors
• Building support for your family
• Anxiety and Autism
• ADHD and Autism

In each session, presenters will share a case study and best practices that will deepen your understanding of autism and help you better advocate for your autistic child.

So far, the results have been impactful: 91% of past participants say the program has improved their knowledge and ability to care for children with developmental disabilities, including autism.

This November, Family ECHO will host two virtual learning sessions focusing on understanding and managing anxiety and ADHD in children with autism.

Select from the sessions below and register for one or both sessions to learn more.
