Navigating Educational And Behavioral Services: What Parents Of Children With Asd Need To Know, Jennifer A. Mclaren, Eric Mitchell
Annual Foundations Behavioral Health/La Salle University Autism Spectrum Disorders Conference
Navigating service systems can be difficult. Parents are often unaware of where educational services end and where behavioral health services begin. This interactive panel will aid in navigating the complex matrix of school, BHRS, STS, outpatient, and psychiatric services for school-aged children with an ASD. It will teach parents how to create a collaborative team which aids in providing consistency in all environments. Additionally, parents will gain information about effective advocacy for services in the school, home, and community. The discussion will provide an overview of considerations family need in order to identify supports and advocate for their children.
