Being armed with information about Autism Spectrum Disorders helps most families feel more comfortable as they face new challenges. Some families need to know where to start because one member of the family has been recently diagnosed. Other families face unexpected difficulties as individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders learn to live effectively in home, school, or community settings. The National Autism Center is dedicated to supporting families by making information and resources more readily available. We already have available an Onsite Parent Education Series for parents of children who have been recently diagnosed and we are in the process of developing this same series so that it will be available on-line. It is our long-term goal to have additional family education information available onsite and online. For example, we hope to offer sibling training and a parent education series uniquely related to Asperger’s Syndrome. In the meantime, please see our online library for additional information about a broad range of issues families face when supporting their child with an Autism Spectrum Disorder. |
