Synopsis
From the moment an autistic child gets diagnosed, parents and caregivers must navigate a host of decisions that will affect their child's future. How can you tell if a service is truly helpful? What kind of education plan is best? Where can you find the best advocacy tools? And how can you prepare for the future?
The Informed Parent is a practical guide designed to empower families in making their own choices in school, autism services and parenting. Anne Borden King speaks with psychologists, ethicists, teachers, parents and advocates about the practical challenges of raising an autistic child today. Focusing on school and therapy settings, as well as the transition to adulthood and work, housing and independence, The Informed Parent is a balanced and inside look at research and services, with the information and tools to help you make your own choices in the journey of parenting an autistic child.
