New Parent 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.”

Parents/Caretakers: $28 registration per person OR $45 per couple

Scholarships are offered to families in need. Please inquire.
