When your child has autism, you are their most powerful advocate. The good news is that resources, support and hope are all within your reach. But that doesn’t mean it isn’t overwhelming and challenging. There are many pieces to the autism puzzle, and how those pieces come together is unique to each child. That’s why Chicago Parent has teamed up with a.c.e. Therapies, a leading Chicagoland ABA therapy center that helps families who are dealing with autism. Check back frequently for new topics and expert advice for parents and caregivers of children who are newly diagnosed with autism, as well as insight on how to build crucial life skills that lead to the ultimate goal: independence.
The rush of emotions that accompany an autism diagnosis, from fear and anxiety to grief and even relief, can be intense — as can the reams of questions and treatment options. If you’re just starting out, start with these essential topics.
Small successes add up to big victories for children on the spectrum — whether it’s tackling new settings, starting ABA therapy or successfully communicating their needs. Help your child master the life skills that will serve them now and in the future.
