HMEA’s Autism Resource Central Director Sue Loring is being featured in a three-part series on Autism to be published by the Worcester Telegram & Gazette this week.
Here is an overview of what to expect in the series:
This three-part series, “Piecing Together the Puzzle,” explores the conundrum of autism in young children, the stage at which it is typically diagnosed and intervention becomes an immediate concern. Today’s article looks at the diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder and the predominant therapy. On Thursday we focus on the crucial transition at age 3 from early intervention to school-based special education. Next Sunday, we examine what researchers know about causes of autism and promising trends in medical and behavioral research.
HMEA’s Autism Resource Central provides information and referral, education, family support and networking services. The center is designed to help parents, educators, service providers, and medical professionals provide effectively for those diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Learn more
