Alexis Eggenberger, Director of Navigation Services with Avenues for Autism is our latest guest and just in time for back to school. Alexis is here to talk social stories. An act that can be extremely helpful getting kids with Autism set to get back to class, or for their very first time.
Before that Alexis was SO kind, patient and endlessly informative as I threw question after question at her about where we are now with perspectives and management of Autism. And that's not just for kids, but for adults as well!
