Parents - join us for an ONLINE Support Session with Psychologist and Autism Expert, Dr. Alexander Gantman.
This ONLINE Parent Sessions will focus on the increasingly difficult issues that arise as children with Asperger's, HFA or PDD-NOS reach adulthood. College and employment are the tip of the iceberg. Lack of social relationships and a tendency to shut themselves up in their rooms playing computer games are common battlegrounds. These challenges and more will be addressed in small group settings. The fee is $20 for OCASG Members and $30 for non-members. Please note that a Liability Waiver must be on file. You only need to do this once.
