The Ask the Experts panel provides an opportunity for family members and professionals to ask questions to a panel of autism experts. Our experts represent a variety of fields including medicine, behavior analysis, education, occupational and speech therapy, and psychology.
The Ask the Experts Panel focuses on addressing a wide variety of questions including:
- What does a diagnosis of autism mean for my child?
- Is there a cure or treatment for autism?
- What are some strategies and resources to help with my child’s behavior?
- How does an autism diagnosis impact my child’s education?
- My child is older-when should I start thinking about adulthood and transition from high school?
- What other medical considerations should I be aware of?
Attendees will also have the opportunity to ask additional questions during the event.
