The team at Totally Social ASD has put together a new summer program for teens and adults with high functioning autism and similar social communication challenges. We will be running a Summer Seminar Series; each week we will be dedicating the session to a different topic. We picked topics that both clients and caregivers asked for and from the topics we see as 'hot button' topics with our current clients.
All seminar sessions will be held at the Brighton Chamber of Commerce in the upstairs conference room. Click below the picture to register for the session/s you are interested in. Feel free to email us with any questions regarding the 2017 Summer Seminar Series at [email protected].
