Greetings!
It's been a very busy time for all of us at ARI with the resumption of our in-person scientific think tank, live online webinars, the facilitation of an expert panel for families and ASD individuals experiencing trauma in Ukraine, and the coordination of virtual presentations by a contingent of U.S. experts for the annual Moscow autism conference.
ARI is dedicated to providing trusted and relevant information to parents, those on the spectrum, and professionals worldwide. We are honored to support the community we serve.

Trauma Support for People with Autism in Ukraine |
|
|
|
Earlier this year, families and people with autism from Ukraine reached out to a group of US-based autism experts to learn strategies for supporting people with autism experiencing trauma and displacement. A second panel, providing a platform for adults with autism, occurred in April. ARI facilitated the technology and provided financial support. |
