Get the "tools & tips" for an autism diagnosis

After receiving an autism spectrum diagnosis, families have many questions about what to do and where to start.  To help answer these questions -- and many more -- The Autism Center at Ontario ARC offers many free presentations about autism-related topics.

On June 16, the center is hosting Now What? Understanding Autism:  Tools & Tips for Families led by Cindy Matttoon, special education services coordinator for Wayne-Finger Lakes BOCES.  The presentation -- which runs from 10 a.m. until noon -- will cover what parents can do when receiving the diagnosis and how to plan for a successful future.  There will also be a panel of parents and caregivers who will answer questions and share their experiences.

Save your seat today by calling the agency's Training Department at (585) 394-7500, ext. 2300 or e-mail theautismcenter@ontarioarc.org  We'll see you there!

More information about this presentation is also on our Facebook page.
