Understanding Autism | FREE EVENT

Autism diagnoses have increased significantly in recent decades. Yet despite its growing prevalence, much about autism remains unknown, misunderstood or is viewed in a solely negative light. In general, society may have only a slight idea of what it means to be "autistic.”

Join local speech-language pathologist Dr. Blair Voigt, SLP.D.-CCC-SLP, for an informative talk that will help you better understand and support individuals with autism spectrum disorders. Topics that will be covered include:

• The definition, characteristics and possible causes of autism
• Practical communication tips and ways to support individuals and families in our communities
• Embracing neurodiversity and developing empathy for all people, including those with autism

Child care, snacks and beverages will be provided.
