Book Review: Parenting a Child with Autism Spectrum Disorder
This week, reviewer Jennifer Brown, an author and mother of an adult son with autism, takes a look at the book “Parenting a Child with Autism Spectrum Disorder: Practical Strategies to Strengthen Understanding, Communication, and Connection,” by Albert Knapp, PSYD, BCBA-D, RPT-S. The book addresses basic topics concerning autism spectrum disorders by a board-certified behavior analyst and registered play therapist who has worked with children with autism spectrum disorders since 2005.
Parent & Caregiver Support Groups
Did you know we offer three different online support groups specifically geared toward parents and caregivers who have a family member living with autism? All of these groups are designed to give support, talk through challenges and successes, and learn about resources available to families at every stage in the autism journey.



  • On Wednesdays from 7:30–9 p.m., we hold our virtual Black & Brown Families Support Group. The group supports, educates, and advocates for a unique segment of the population that are often misunderstood, underrepresented, and forgotten.
