You Are More Valuable to Your Child Than Any Therapist Will Ever Be

You Are More Valuable to Your Child Than Any Therapist Will Ever Be
Presented by Carrie Sheppard, LMHC

The decisions parents face after a diagnosis of an autism spectrum disorder are mind boggling and laden with emotion. Parents wonder: Am I doing enough for my child? Am I choosing the right therapies? How will I pay for it all? This class is based on the notion that effective treatment can happen in the context of "normal" family life and that the parents' natural role as guide to their child can hold greater therapeutic value than many of the expensive, often overused therapies --- some of which fail to provide noticeable value in "real life." Come learn ways to enjoy family life more and focus on helping your child's development on a daily basis. The whole family can benefit from an enhanced quality of life while also targeting your child's specific developmental goals! Appropriate for: Parents
