Autism Unpacked: Your 30-Minute Lunchtime Insight

Parents: Are you wondering if your child might be on the spectrum? Have you recently received a diagnosis and are feeling unsure of the next steps?
Providers: Are you working with kids on the spectrum and want information and support?
All: Do you simply want to better understand autism?

Join The Village Well for a free, engaging workshop for families, educators, and youth service providers. Founder Ed Center interviews Karla Chinen — author, podcast host, and founder of Empathy for Autism. Karla, who has autism and is raising a child on the spectrum, shares practical insight on what autism is, how it shows up, and how to advocate for kids with confidence and compassion.

We will record and share the presentation but not the Q+A.
