Hi Friends,

I'm getting ready to offer More Than Words again this fall!

MTW is an evidence-based, naturalistic approach for parents of young autistic children or children with social communication needs.

If you know of anyone who could benefit there will be a free orientation Sept 3rd. Thanks for spreading the word!

Space is limited to 6-10 families. RSVP to join a free orientation session!
