Join us for a online session all about how to advocate for your neurodiverse child. We’ll discuss working together with your child’s school, doctor, and service providers to help you coordinate wrap around, collaborative services. It’s all about teamwork and finding the best ways to support your child’s unique needs through trauma-informed, neuro-affirming ways.

This event will be hosted by Dr Cindy Smith.
