Thursday's Regular Meeting on January 31, 2019 featured April Spaulding from Abrazo Family Support Services who spoke on "Autism-What is it" It was an excellent presentation on a subject most Rotarians know little about. April told us that Autism is a Spectrum Disorder and described the various symptoms. She said it is often hard to diagnose.
Autistic children need a lot of support services including Early Intervention, Occupational Therapy, Speech Therapy and Counseling. Abrazo provides those services as well as Recreational Respite which helps Autistic Children integrate into the community.
They have recently added Applied Behavior Analysis which provides 30-40 hours of therapy a week to an Autistic Child
